Each civil registry office has its own requirements to the list of documents to be submitted for marriage. Therefore, it is better to clarify this in advance with each registry office separately.
If both foreigners marrying on the territory of Turkey are citizens of the same country, the marriage registration can be held both in the consulate of their country, and in the civil registry office of Turkey. If the foreigners getting married are citizens of different countries, it is possible to conclude the marriage in the Registry Office of Turkey.
