Help for British nationals
The British Government attaches the highest priority to protecting the interests of British Nationals overseas. In Turkey, consular services to British and certain other nationalities are provided by the Embassy in Ankara, the Consulate General in Istanbul and our other Consulates (listed below). The services include the issue and replacement of British passports, registration of births and deaths, voter registration, acceptance of notice of marriage and issuance of Certificates of No Impediment. With few exceptions, consular services attract statutory fees.
Occasionally, British people living in or visiting Turkey get into some form of trouble. When British nationals are arrested or imprisoned, consular staff will visit them and offer whatever assistance they properly can. We will also offer help and advice to British nationals in other cases of need.

- British citizens (whether or not they normally live in the UK)
