  "title": "Türkiye — Marriage-Based Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship Application Form (Vat-6)",
  "description": "Vat-6, \"Evlenme Yoluyla Türk Vatandaşlığının Kazanılması Başvuru Formu\" (Application Form for the Acquisition of Turkish Citizenship Through Marriage), by which a foreign national married to a Turkish citizen applies to acquire Turkish citizenship under Article 16 of Law No. 5901 on Turkish Citizenship (Türk Vatandaşlığı Kanunu). 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). Unlike the already-modelled Vat-3 (general acquisition, whose marital-status/spouse fields are conditionally gated), this form's applicant is always a spouse of a Turkish citizen, so it carries a dedicated, always-required Turkish-citizen-spouse information block rather than a conditional one. The form is filed with either a provincial Governorate (Valilik) or, for applicants residing abroad, a Turkish Consulate General, and captures the applicant's foreign and Turkish-script identity particulars, contact details, a declared criminal-record history, the Turkish spouse's own identity and marriage-date particulars, and up to three minor children applying to acquire citizenship together with the applicant. 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 (registration date/number, completed by the receiving authority upon intake), the biometric photograph box, and the closing signature/printed-name line 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.",
