Note
TURKPOL is an independent association registered in Poland. We are not part of the Turkish or the Polish state, and neither of them endorses us. We cannot book consular appointments, speed up a case, collect consular fees or act on the embassy's behalf. Appointments are booked only through the official system linked below — do not pay anyone who offers to "find" you an appointment.
Checked against the official pages on 15 September 2026. Procedures change: always open the official link before you act.
Turkish citizens living in Poland handle passports, ID cards, birth and marriage registrations and most other consular matters through one mission: the Turkish Embassy in Warsaw. This page puts the official channels in one place, in the order you are likely to need them, and shows which matters are handled by Polish offices instead.
The Embassy in Warsaw
Türkiye has no career consulate general in Poland, only honorary consulates. Consular work is done at the embassy itself, by appointment. The contact details below are as published on the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs list of diplomatic missions in Poland:
- Address: Rakowiecka 19, 02-517 Warszawa
- Phone: (22) 854 61 10, (22) 854 61 13, (22) 854 61 21
- E-mail: embassy.warsaw@mfa.gov.tr
Plan every visit around an appointment booked in advance.
Booking an appointment
Appointments are booked online through e-Konsolosluk, the consular system of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Book for the embassy in Warsaw; the procedure pages listed below say what to bring for each service.
Some consular transactions can also be done online, without a visit, through e-Devlet: Ministry of Foreign Affairs services on e-Devlet. You need your e-Devlet password or another e-Devlet login method to use them.
Warning
Appointments come only from e-Konsolosluk. Anyone who asks for money to "find", "reserve" or "speed up" an appointment has nothing to do with that system. Do not pay them, and do not give them your e-Devlet password or your passport details.
Consular services
Each link opens the official e-Konsolosluk procedure page, which lists the documents required. Where the procedure page says a service can be handled by post or online, it is noted here; for everything else, read the page before you book.
- Passport — by appointment.
- Identity card (kimlik) — by appointment. A population register extract (nüfus kayıt örneği) can be obtained online.
- Birth registration — by post if the parents are married to each other; otherwise by appointment.

Help in an emergency
If someone is in immediate danger in Poland, call 112 first. It connects you to ambulance, fire and police.
For urgent consular help, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs runs a consular call centre that answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: +90 312 292 29 29.
Save both numbers in your phone now, not on the day you need them.
Honorary consulates
Türkiye has honorary consulates in Kraków, Poznań, Łódź and Wrocław. Their addresses are on the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs list.
Check with the embassy before you go to an honorary consulate.
Voting abroad
For elections and voting from abroad, the one reliable source is Türkiye's Supreme Election Council: YSK. Before each election, check the information there rather than in social media posts.
Also useful in Poland
Some of what newcomers expect the embassy to handle is in fact done by Polish offices:
- Residence permits: the voivodeship office (urząd wojewódzki) for the region where you live. In Warsaw and the Mazowieckie region, that is the Foreigners' Department of the Mazowiecki Voivodeship Office. Our guide to PESEL, address registration and the residence card explains the order of the steps.
- A residence permit specific to Turkish citizens: Polish law provides a temporary residence permit based on Decision No 1/80 of the EEC–Turkey Association Council (Art. 186(1)(5) of the Act on Foreigners). The voivodeship office decides whether it applies to you. More about this permit: MOS.
- Office for Foreigners (UdSC): the Polish central office for foreigners' matters, with information on residence and legal stay: UdSC.
- Apostille on Polish documents: if a Turkish authority asks for a Polish document with an apostille, the apostille is issued by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in person by appointment or by post. Details: apostille at the MSZ.

How TURKPOL can help
We can explain how a procedure works, help you find your own way around the e-Konsolosluk booking site and e-Devlet, and point you to the right Polish office. We cannot book or change appointments, intervene with the embassy in your case, or guarantee any outcome. We are not lawyers: for legal advice on a specific case, speak to a qualified lawyer. And never share your e-Devlet password with anyone, including us.
