The Republic of Turkey has been pursuing, since its establishment, a peaceful, realistic and consistent foreign policy guided by the principle "Peace at Home and Peace Abroad" set out by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Turkey conducts a foreign policy generating security and stability in its region and beyond based on its democratic and secular political system, vibrant economy and its tradition of reconciling modernity with its cultural identity.

The Embassy in offers a wide range of consular services to Turkish as well as Irish citizens. The list of the consular transactions consists of 5 main categories:

• Birth: certification/registration of natural children
• Marriage Registration
• Passports/Travel documents
• Notary Public
• Citizenship

For birth certificate procedures, an application from either parent will be accepted. If one of the parents is a foreign national, the application must be completed by the Turkish parent. According to the relevant Turkish legislation, if a child is born abroad, notification must be made to the Embassy/Consulate General for the area in which the child was born, no later than 60 days after the birth.

Theft or loss of a valid passport must be reported to the police and a police report should be presented when applying for a new passport. Otherwise a passport is applied as normally. When reporting a lost passport to the police it should be noted that a report made by telephone and a registration number given  on the basis of that might not be adequate proof to the insurance company. The report can be made in person at a police station so that a report of the crime is available in writing.

Turkish citizens residing abroad must register with the Consular Register corresponding to the district where they live. Registration allows them to renew their documentation, to be able to prove their residence abroad and to participate in elections called in Turkey, except municipal elections, as well as to request consular assistance in situations of need.
