How do I book a vehicle inspection appointment and prepare?
Steps for booking a TÜVTÜRK appointment online, collecting the paperwork and getting the car ready for the station.
Short answer
First confirm the car is due by using the inspection date query on e-Devlet or the TÜVTÜRK site. Then open randevu.tuvturk.com.tr or the TÜVTÜRK app, tap "Randevu Al", enter the plate and registration document serial number, pick a station and a free time slot, and save the confirmation SMS. On inspection day bring the registration, valid traffic insurance and the emission test document.
What you need
Step by step
Check when inspection is due
Use the "Araç Muayene Bilgisi Sorgulama" service on e-Devlet or the "Muayene Tarihi Sorgulama" screen on the TÜVTÜRK site. Enter the plate and the registration document serial number to see the current status. This tells you whether you are already overdue before you book anything.
Open the appointment system
Go to randevu.tuvturk.com.tr or use the TÜVTÜRK mobile app, then tap "Randevu Al" on the home screen. If the app asks you to register, verify with your phone number and continue. Booking through an account lets you pull up the appointment record later.
Enter the vehicle details
On the "Araç Bilgileri" step, type the plate and the registration document serial number. The system usually fills in the vehicle class automatically; if it does not, pick the class from the list. The details must match the registration exactly, otherwise the system rejects the entry.
Pick the station, day and time
On the "İstasyon Seçimi" screen choose the province and district, then the nearest fixed or mobile station. Tap an available day in the calendar and select a free time slot. Mobile stations only operate in set periods, so read the note attached to the listing.
Confirm and save the booking
Fill in your contact details and complete the "Randevu Onayı" step. Enter the verification code sent to your phone, then keep the SMS and email that contain the appointment number. You will need that number to change or cancel through the "Randevu Sorgulama / İptal" screen.
Gather the documents
Put together the registration, the valid traffic insurance policy and the exhaust emission measurement certificate. Add the gas-tightness report for an LPG conversion, and a power of attorney if someone other than the owner drives in. Clear any unpaid traffic fines or motor vehicle tax debt before you go.
Run a pre-check on the car
Test the low and high beams, indicators, brake and reverse lights, horn, wipers and washer fluid one by one. Check tyre tread depth, brake and handbrake bite, oil and hydraulic leaks, exhaust noise and the seat belts. Empty heavy items from the boot and wash the car.
Attend and collect the report
Arrive a little before your slot, give the plate and appointment number at the reception desk and pay the inspection fee. At the lane entrance leave the car where staff direct you and follow their instructions. You receive an "Araç Muayene Raporu" at the end; if a defect is listed, fix it and return for a re-check.
Tips
Watch out
Driving after the inspection deadline risks an administrative fine and having the vehicle taken off the road, plus a late surcharge for every overdue period. Turning up at the station without valid traffic insurance or an emission test certificate wastes the appointment entirely.
Frequently asked questions
+Can I go to a station without an appointment?
Some stations accept walk-ins when capacity allows, but it is not guaranteed and usually means a long wait. Booking ahead is the safer option.
+Can someone else take my car for inspection?
Yes, as long as the driver brings the registration and the required documents. Company vehicles and some transactions may need a notarised power of attorney, so confirm with the station first.
+What happens if a defect is found?
The report lists it as a heavy or light defect. Fix the issue and return within the stated period, and only the relevant parts are re-checked at a reduced fee.
+Will the inspection go ahead if I have unpaid fines?
Unpaid traffic fines and motor vehicle tax debt block the inspection. Settle them and bring the receipt or the query screen with you.
+What if I miss my appointment time?
The appointment becomes void and you have to book a new one. If you realise in advance that you will be late, cancel it and look for another free slot the same day.
