Background

The Central Electronic Registration System ("MERSIS") was established in 2010 to provide, among other things, a centralised electronic platform to handle corporate registration formalities. Local trade registrars have been in a process of slow incremental transition, having to deal with a frustrating range of IT and other migration issues as they progress towards full MERSIS compatibility.

Until recently, the Istanbul Trade Registry required company incorporation applications to be initiated through MERSIS but continued to accept paper-form applications on most other corporate processes. However, from 07 May 2018, they will require MERSIS applications to process changes to articles of association of corporates.
