The General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre issued the
Circular No. 2025/6 on 5 December 2025
(“Circular“), enabling the revocation of
powers of attorney related to land registry transactions online and
standardizing the revocation process.
The Circular establishes the Turkish Revocation System. Under
this system, it is now possible to submit the revocation requests
either at the relevant land registry directorate or directly
through the Webtapu system. All land registry directorates
can access revocations carried out via the online system.
The authorities will not accept revocation applications
submitted by fax, email or post. They will also not process
revocation applications submitted directly to the General
Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre or regional
directorates.
In addition, revocations carried out through the
Webtapu system will cover all powers of attorney issued
before the revocation date and the system will automatically and
promptly record revocations in the revocation registry. Revocations
effected through this system will be effective solely for land
registry transactions.
For land registry transactions based on powers of attorney
issued before 1 January 2023, the land registry directorate will
both check the physical revocation register and the electronic
system in order to confirm the absence of any revocations. For
powers of attorney issued after this date, official will check the
power of attorney only through the electronic system.
As revocation constitutes a legally formative right with
disruptive effect, it is not possible to withdraw it once
exercised. Accordingly, those who wish to re-authorize an agent
previously revoked through the Turkish Revocation System must issue
a new power of attorney.
The establishment of a centralized revocation system is expected
to reduce uncertainties in the revocation of powers of attorney in
practice and mitigate the risk of loss of rights arising from
fraudulent activities.
