Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to appeal a Turkish speeding fine?
Fifteen days from the date the fine was served on you — not the date it was issued. An appeal filed after that risks being rejected on procedure alone.
How long do I have to get the early-payment discount?
Thirty days from service. Paying within that window takes 25% off the administrative fine. It is a separate, longer clock than the appeal deadline.
Which date does the clock start from?
The date the fine was served on you — physically handed over, delivered to your address, or the day you opened the e-Tebligat notice — not the date the camera caught you. Those two dates are usually different, often by weeks.
What if the last day is a public holiday?
Under Turkish law a deadline that lands on a public holiday generally runs to the end of the next working day. For the binding date, check your UYAP file or the court office.
I missed the appeal deadline — can I still get the discount?
Yes. The two run independently. Even with the 15-day appeal window gone, you can still take the 25% discount as long as 30 days from service have not passed.
Is this calculator official?
No. It does date arithmetic and is general information, not legal advice. For the binding deadline and the state of your file, go to UYAP or the competent court office.
