ÖSYM says some population offices will open Sunday for KPSS candidates with ID problems

Some provincial and district population offices in Turkey will open on Sunday, September 6, for candidates taking the General Ability and General Culture session of the 2026 KPSS undergraduate exam.

The arrangement targets candidates who have lost their Turkish identity cards, lack photographs on their cards, have no identity document, or hold documents missing a Turkish identification number, photograph or security stamp.

The offices will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Candidates must bring their exam admission documents and biometric photographs. After the necessary checks, officials will issue a temporary identity document with a photograph and official security features, including a signature and stamp or barcode and QR code.

ÖSYM said candidates may access their application information through its Candidate Transactions System with population-office staff, using their Turkish identification numbers and candidate passwords. Candidates can enter the exam with the temporary identity document issued after their information is verified. No other document issued for this purpose will be accepted.
