Hello: earlier this year I registered my son in Turkey through embassy. I received from embassy a document labelled MERNIS DOGUM FORMU, that form listed all details such as father's name, mother's name, father's kimlik#, etc., but no kimlik# was provided for the dependent.

The child recently visited Turkey, showed this document to airport authorities, but was told it meant nothing in Turkey, that it was not proof that he was Turkish citizen and was charged for a tourist visa.

My question: embassy is very unhelpful, I need to know if the registration of the child was done correctly or not and what must I do to ensure he is recognized as Turkish citizen next time he travels to TUrkey?. Thank you.
