VEHICLE CERTIFICATION (QR-CODED PLATE)
2025 TÜRSAB QR CODE LICENSE PLATE APPLICATION PROCESS AND
AGENCY INFORMATION
2025 LICENSE PLATE AND LICENSE PLATE STAMP APPLICATIONS WILL START ON JANUARY 27, 2025.
WHAT IS TÜRSAB QR CODE PLATE?
TÜRSAB QR code license plate is a document defined as “TÜRSAB Vehicle License Plate” in Articles 40 and 41 of the Travel Agencies Regulation and is a “mandatory document to be kept in vehicles”. This document, which is mandatory for tourist transportation vehicles, is called “TÜRSAB QR Code License Plate”.
WHY IS TÜRSAB QR CODE LICENSE PLATE NECESSARY?
“TÜRSAB QR Code Plate” is in the status of ‘mandatory document to be kept in the vehicles’ of travel agencies providing package tour, tour and transfer services, and this plate must be present on the vehicle serving in each package tour, tour and transfer activity.
The TÜRSAB QR code plate is a “mandatory document” in accordance with Articles 40 and 41 of the Travel Agencies Regulation.
With the letter dated 15.10.2024 and numbered 5811806 of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism General Directorate of Investments and Enterprises; In the inspections carried out by the Governorships (Provincial Directorates of Culture and Tourism) for the package tour, tour and transfer services of travel agencies, it has been reported that if the “TÜRSAB Vehicle Plate” issued by the Association is found, regardless of whether it is renewed during the control of the documents specified in Articles 40 and 41 of the Travel Agencies Regulation, the existing plate will be accepted. In this context, it is accepted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism that the old dated TÜRSAB vehicle license plates existing in travel agencies are also in the status of compulsory documents.
However; The use of old dated TÜRSAB license plates will prolong the inspection process due to the fact that it is not possible to carry out instant activity control with license plate activation in the electronic information system of our Association. For this reason, in case of the use of old dated TÜRSAB vehicle license plates by travel agencies, it is important for them to know that the audit process will be prolonged due to the difficulties that will be experienced in determining the relationship between the activity being audited and the travel agency by checking the documents that must be present within the scope of the legislation separately and physically.
HOW TO GET TÜRSAB QR CODE LICENSE PLATE?
“TÜRSAB QR Code License Plate” applications can be made by the travel agency through the TÜRSAB ONLINE system, which you can access at https://www.tursab.org.tr. Our agencies that do not have a TÜRSAB Online login password can create an online password. Applications cannot be made by the travel agency from elsewhere. The application will not be completed without payment of the fee. In addition, even if payment has been made, the applications of travel agencies that do not meet the criteria for obtaining “TÜRSAB QR Code Plate” will be canceled and their applications will be canceled by refunding the fee they have paid. For security reasons, the license plates will come to you as unavailable through the online system. In order to activate the license plates from the online system, you need to enter the “license plate status update” section from the menu.
HOW MANY PLATES WITH TÜRSAB QR CODE CAN BE PURCHASED?
Travel agencies can request license plates in the amount of their needs in road transportation activities. For applications made through TÜRSAB ONLINE, the number of license plates can be purchased as many as the number defined. For license plate requests above the defined capacity, the number of license plates determined after the evaluation to be made by the License Plate Department and License Plate Commission can be obtained.
WHAT ARE THE SITUATIONS WHERE A LICENSE PLATE WITH TÜRSAB QR CODE CANNOT BE OBTAINED?
If the travel agency has an open file in the Disciplinary Board, license plate applications cannot be made and new license plates will not be issued until the disciplinary file is closed. In the event that an investigation is opened by the Disciplinary Board against the travel agency due to the document rental activity; until the investigation of the Disciplinary Board is completed, the travel agency's new license plate applications will be kept pending and new license plates will not be issued. Unless otherwise decided, activities can continue with the existing license plates.
HOW SHOULD THE PLATES WITH TÜRSAB QR CODE BE USED?
TÜRSAB QR Code Plates must be activated with the serial number of the license plate used by entering the TÜRSAB Online page (https://online.tursab.org.tr/signin/) before the start of the package tour, tour and transfer service. At the end of the package tour, tour or transfer date, you will prevent your license plate from being used by others on your behalf by making the use of the license plate inactive. In cases where you do not use / cannot use your license plate; If you do not take it to “inactive” status or “Lost / Stolen” status when you lose it, the license plate in the vehicle will be considered yours and the transaction will be made on behalf of your travel agency.
