  "title": "Türkiye — Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship by Descent Application Form (Vat-1)",
  "description": "Vat-1, \"Soy Bağı Esasına Göre Türk Vatandaşlığının Kazanılması Başvuru Formu/Beyan Formu\" (Application Form/Declaration Form for the Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship on the Basis of Descent), published and administered by the T.C. İçişleri Bakanlığı Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Interior, General Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, NVI). This form is filed by an applicant who, by descent (soy bağı) from a Turkish-citizen mother and/or father, already holds Turkish citizenship by operation of law but was not registered at birth (typically because the birth occurred abroad) and now applies as an adult to have that citizenship formally recorded in the population register; the source PDF's own filename (\"Vat1-FormOnsekizYasUstuYurtdisiBildirim.pdf,\" literally \"over-18 abroad-birth notification form\") reflects this same self-applying-adult scenario, distinct from its printed header title, and is treated as consistent rather than a naming mismatch requiring resolution. Distinct from every other authored VAT companion: it carries no maiden-name question, no criminal-conviction/pending-prosecution questions, and, uniquely among this registry's VAT schemas, two full parent-information blocks (Babasına Ait Bilgiler/Annesine Ait Bilgiler, covering the father's and mother's own identity plus each parent's own two parents — the applicant's paternal and maternal grandparents) reflecting that citizenship here flows through the parent rather than a spouse or adoption. The spouse block, gated by marital status per the form's own footnote, is a smaller 8-field block with no occupation/education columns, matching the Vat-8 precedent, and its identity-number field accepts either a T.C. Kimlik No or a foreign identity number since the spouse need not be a Turkish citizen. A second page (\"Gerekli Diğer Bilgiler\") carries seven of the same open-ended declarations already modelled on Vat-11, plus one field unique to this schema — turkishParentAddressDeclaration — always required rather than conditional, since this form's entire legal basis presupposes a Turkish-citizen parent whose address is always answerable. Companion schema to `tr/nvi/general-acquisition-of-turkish-citizenship-application`, within Türkiye's already-open National ID & Civic Documents vertical (does not open a new vertical). This v1.0.0 models the applicant-facing fields only; the form's own office-assigned Kayıt Tarihi/Kayıt No, the biometric photograph box, and the page-2 two-party attestation block (\"Beyan Alan Yetkilinin\"/\"Beyan Verenin\" — receiving official's and declarant's own printed name/title/date/signature, completed at the counter) are out of scope (see VERIFICATION.md). GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of the Republic of Türkiye or the Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü.",
