Reminder Regarding the Application Period for Discounted K1 and L2 Authorisation Certificates

Dear Member,

With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, reminders were shared in the announcement dated 30.05.2023 received from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure that K1 and L2 authorisation certificates can be obtained at a 75% discount until 01.07.2023.

The letter conveyed by the Ministry stated that paragraph 9 of Provisional Article 1 of the Road Transport Regulation (KTY) contains the provision: "Between 1/1/2020 and the date on which this paragraph enters into force; if a) natural or legal persons holding a C3, L1, M2, N2 or P2 authorisation certificate apply for an L2, b) natural or legal persons who have tractor or truck type vehicles registered on a contractual basis in the vehicle certificate annexed to a C2, L2 or M2 authorisation certificate apply for an L2, c) natural or legal persons who have tractor, truck or van type vehicles registered on a contractual basis in the vehicle certificate annexed to a C2, L1, L2, M1, M2, N1 or N2 authorisation certificate apply for a K1 authorisation certificate; a 75% discount shall be applied to the authorisation certificate fee, to be applied until 01.07.2023. However, the fourth paragraph of Article 73 shall not apply to authorisation certificates to be issued under this paragraph. This paragraph may be applied only once for each natural or legal person. Applications under this paragraph and the related works and procedures must be finalised by 01.07.2023."

The same letter also stated, based on the text of the said article, that the opportunity granted to transporters under the said provision of the Regulation to obtain a K1 or L2 authorisation certificate at a 75% discount will cease on 01.07.2023.

For this reason, it was stated that, in order to prevent grievances that may arise after 01.07.2023 for transporters who have not yet applied under the said provision of the Regulation, it is considered beneficial to make the necessary announcements on the subject to transporters who fall within the scope of the said provision of the Regulation but have not yet applied.

Kind regards,
