FAQ
Do the older Turkey endpoints still work?
Yes. POST /v1/tr/identity/validate and /v1/tr/tax-number/validate keep working. The same checks are also at POST /v1/validate/TR/tc_kimlik and /v1/validate/TR/vkn.
Is this an NVİ or GİB lookup?
No. It checks the check digits only and does not confirm that the person or company exists.
