How to verify identity for a Turkcell SIM card in Turkey to avoid number deactivation?
Based on 3 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
Turkcell sends an SMS requiring identity verification by a set deadline (otherwise the number gets deactivated) — you can verify either through the Göç Bil app or in person at a Turkcell store with your passport.
What the community said
The link in the SMS just leads to the general Turkcell website without a clear verification form — it's often easier to sort this out directly at a Turkcell store than to hunt for the right section online.

If you don't verify your identity by the date given in the SMS, the number gets deactivated — better to check your status with the operator in advance rather than wait until the last day.
