Defendant: Antalya Provincial Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs
Address:
Subject: Our request for the correction of population records based on legitimate reasons regarding our client’s name change.
INSTRUCTIONS
Our client’s name is written as follows in the Population Records: … However, our client’s entire circle has changed… They know him by his name. Even their close relatives are listed in our client’s population registry… Everyone who knows our client recognizes them without knowing their name… They are known only by their first name. In this context… Our client’s name causes various problems in their daily life. Therefore, it is imperative that our client’s name be changed.
lass=”yoast-text-mark” />>Considering the problems explained above, our client’s name is a name known and recognized by everyone… Therefore, we have an obligation to request its change.
>Established case law also states that a name change must be accepted because the person is known by a different name. The relevant Supreme Court Decision is as follows:
TURKISH SUPREME COURT 18TH CIVIL CHAMBER E. 2011/9929 K. 2011/12617 T. 12.12.2011
DECISION:
In their petition, the plaintiffs claimed that their daughter under their custody was known as “Dersim” and requested that her name, which was registered as ‘Dilan’ in the population registry, be changed to “Dersim.”
According to Article 27 of the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721, a person may request the change of their name for valid reasons, the use of the name by which they are known, and the entry of this name in the population records, provided that this does not conflict with the mandatory provisions of the law in the practice of the High Court. In the case in question, since the plaintiffs’ daughters are known by the name “Dersim,” there is a valid reason for the name change, and the request should have been accepted. Therefore, the dismissal of the case on unfounded grounds is not considered correct.
CONCLUSION:
In this context, without considering the principles explained above, the written ruling is invalid and an appeal may be filed for these reasons (HUMK’s 428). According to the article, if a prepayment is requested for the appeal, it was decided by unanimous vote on 12.12.2011 to OVERTURN the decision and return it to the appellant.
As a result of the reasons we have explained and the witnesses we will hear, it will be seen that our client’s name in the Population Registry, known as “…”, should be changed to “…”. LEGAL EVIDENCE: (evidence to be relied upon, such as witnesses, oaths, experts, etc., must be specified)
LEGAL EVIDENCE: Expert witnesses, witnesses, and all other legal evidence…
LEGAL GROUNDS: Turkish Civil Code, Judicial precedents, and relevant legislation
REQUEST AND CONCLUSION
In accordance with the matters explained above and the matters to be addressed by the court itself;
We respectfully and earnestly request that our justified claim be accepted and that the necessary procedures be carried out in the name of our client, “…..”, which is known and recognized by everyone.
Plaintiff …..
