ID Card Application via e-Government (Basic)

(Please read this guide carefully to the end before starting the process.)

Candidates who passed the exam can apply for their ID card after their certificate has been issued, using a phone or computer, through the “Özel Güvenlik Kimlik Kartı Başvuruları” (Private Security ID Card Applications) section of e-Government (e-Devlet).

The licence fee and the ID card fee must be paid before applying.

ID card fee (550 TL for 2026): The fee can be paid at a Türkiye Halk Bankası teller counter under the “ÖZEL GÜVENLİK KİMLİK KARTI TAHSİLATI” (private security ID card collection) payment. At an ATM (only Halkbank ATMs work), select the menus GİRİŞ, FATURA VE ÖDEMELER, DİĞER ÖDEMELER, ÖZELGUV.KİMLK KART-POL.TES- in this order, then enter your phone number and Turkish ID number and continue.

Private security licence fee (8,568 TL for 2026): This must be paid at the cash desk of a tax office near you. Candidates who already hold an unarmed private security officer (ÖGG) ID card and are converting it to armed will not pay this fee.

Uploading Your Signature

The system will ask for a photo of your signature. Before starting the application:

  1. Sign on a sheet of paper with a black ballpoint pen.
  2. Take a photo of it with your mobile phone and keep it ready in your gallery.
  3. If there is a lot of empty space around the signature, crop it so that only the area containing the signature remains.

The background must be white and the file must not exceed 100 kb.

If you get an error because of the file size while uploading your signature, send the photo of your signature to us via our WhatsApp line (0530 405 13 59). We will edit it so that the system accepts it and send it back to you.

Errors You May Encounter During the Application

The system may not be able to see your diploma, fingerprints or health report. If you get these errors or any other error and cannot complete the application, you need to apply to the police in person. To do so, collect your certificate from our course, make an appointment online and apply in person to the private security branch at Şişli İlçe Emniyet Müdürlüğü (Şişli District Police Department).
