AN EXAMPLE OF A PETITION FOR AN AGE CORRECTION CASE

TO THE COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE

PROSECUTOR:

ATTORNEY:

DEFENDANT:

SUBJECT: It consists of a request for an age correction.

INSTRUCTIONS

1-My client … was born in history. But in the birth certificate, due to the mistake of the population officers, the date of birth is written as….

2-My client was born at home and was born … the son of my client’s uncle … about 8 days after the date of the bet. The situation at stake is … his father … and his mother ………….. Your Honor will testify before your Court.

3-As we know, a person who wants to reduce his age should not have a brother at the age he wants to reduce. My client’s younger brother was born and the age difference between him and my client exceeds the dec specified in the relevant law.

4-The age of my client was incorrectly processed in the population records as a result of the error of the population officers, and therefore he has problems with legal proceedings. There is also a possibility that damages may arise in the future that may not be irreparable. In addition, like every citizen of the Republic of Turkey, he has the right to request that the actual date of birth be entered into the ID card.

5-For these reasons, we have an obligation to request that my client’s current date of birth be corrected in the population records as the actual date of birth.

LEGAL REASONS: Turkish Civil Code, Population Services Law and related Legislation

EVIDENCE: Population Registration, Witness Statements and other legal evidence of any kind

RESULT:

For the reasons explained above, we supply and demand by proxy that the date of birth of my client be fixed, that the costs of the trial and the attorney’s fee be charged to the defendant. Sincerely. …/…/…
