Legal Updates / Security QR Codes for Title Deeds

Overview

As part of the government’s "12th Judicial Package," a new regulation is being launched in February 2026 to eliminate fraud in the Turkish real estate market. All new Title Deeds (Tapu) and property sales contracts issued by Notaries must now include a mandatory QR code (Karekod). This digital signature ensures that every document is authentic and can be verified in real-time.
