In addition, homeowners can obtain the Address Code of the residence from the address inquiry internet services of the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs. Thanks to this system, which standardizes all addresses within the borders of the country, coordination and integration among all institutions dealing with housing will be easier.

Homeowners who want to have Compulsory Earthquake Insurance must give their full and correct address when they go to the insurance agency or bank branch. If there is no error in the address, the Address Code appears automatically in the National Address Database. If the address is incorrect, you can easily access the address codes registered in the system by querying on the internet or by applying to the headman’s office, municipality or population directorates.

UAVT Insured and uninsured distinction will be made from the center, and the production of erroneous and repetitive policies resulting from incomplete or different expression of address information will be prevented.
