The industrial registry certificate is issued electronically every two years, based on the document issuance date. Before the visa, the title, type, address, product and other records of the business must be up to date. If the records are not up to date, the relevant change process must be completed first instead of just submitting a visa request.
When is the industry registry visa done?
The visa period is tracked according to the date of issue of the document, not the end of the calendar year. According to the Industrial Registry Communiqué, the transaction is carried out electronically every two years.

Annual business statement

See document date
Check the issuance date on your industrial registry certificate and the latest visa information, if any.
Verify in the system

What Information Should You Check Before Applying?
Title and type of business
Verify the compatibility of the title and business type in the industrial registry with the trade registry and tax records.
Production site address
Make sure that the actual production address and the system record are the same. If the address has changed, do not wait for the change process.
Manufactured products
Examine the compliance of products that are discontinued, newly added or whose name has changed, with documentation and current production records.
Capacity and production information
If there are any significant changes in your machine, capacity and actual production information, review the system records and underlying documents.
Employee and energy information
Check that the employee, energy and production data in the last annual operating statement reflects the correct period.
Contact and authorization information
Verify the email address that notifications arrive at and that the person making the transaction can access the system on behalf of the business.
How to Obtain an Industry Registry Certificate Visa Step by Step?
Enter the Industrial Registry Service
e‑Government Industry Registry Operations from the service or Industrial Registry Information System Log in by verifying your identity.
Select the relevant business listing
If there is more than one production site or industrial registry, match the document to be visaed with the correct address and document number.
Compare recorded information with current status
Compare title, type, address, product and other business information with your current records. If there is a difference, complete the relevant change application in the system.
Submit visa application for approval
Start the visa process in the system, complete the indicated fields and send the application to the evaluation of the Provincial Directorate of Industry and Technology to which the business is affiliated.
Follow the request for additional information
The Provincial Directorate may request additional information or documents for control purposes. Monitor the application status and registered contact addresses until the process is completed.
Verify the visa information and keep the record
After approval, check the visa information on the document. Store the application record, approved document and underlying data together in the company archive.
The Provincial Directorate may request additional information or documents
Visa application is made electronically. However, the Industrial Registry Communiqué clearly states that the Provincial Directorate may request additional information and documents for control purposes. For this reason, instead of using an old list of documents on the internet as an absolute requirement, take the current requests on the application screen and the notification of the Provincial Directorate to which you are affiliated as basis.
Which changes should the record be updated first?
If the title or company type has changed
Title and type changes should not be left as an ordinary visa note; should be considered within the scope of the amendment process in the legislation.
If the production address has changed
If the address in the document and the actual production location are different, an update must be made before the application and the correct production facility record must be selected.
If the product scope has changed
New product, discontinued activity or significant changes in product name must be matched with the current production scope.
If the business stopped producing
The business whose operations are terminated should not only leave the visa blank; must follow the formal notification process for closure or change of operations.
What Happens If Visa Expires?
According to the Industrial Registry Communiqué, relevant institutions are informed about businesses that have overstayed their visa period. How this will be reflected in the transaction may vary depending on the situation of the business and the institution it applies to. If you have exceeded your visa deadline, instead of acting according to outdated internet statements, check the record in the Industrial Registry Information System and contact your Provincial Directorate.
Additionally, failure to submit the annual operating statement on time is a separate breach of obligation. In the official announcements, the deadline for the schedule for the 2025 operating year was announced as April 30, 2026. Do not consider visa delay and annual statement delay as the same process.
Do not leave the visa date to one person's calendar
The person responsible for the industrial registry certificate, capacity report, annual operating schedule, incentive certificate and other official records, the last transaction date and the next control date should be visible within the company. When production, employee, product and capacity information is kept in different files, the risk of data mismatch before application increases.
