National Electronic Notification System (UETS): Everything You Need to Know

What Is UETS?

The National Electronic Notification System (UETS) is a digital platform that enables official notifications to be delivered electronically in a secure and legally valid manner. Operated by PTT, the system allows both individuals and legal entities to receive official notifications through electronic channels.

As a modern alternative to traditional postal services, UETS streamlines the notification process while ensuring security and legal compliance. In short, it serves as a digital communication bridge between public institutions and citizens or organizations.

What Is UETS Used For?

UETS is designed to facilitate the electronic delivery of official notifications issued by government institutions. Tax notices, court documents, and other official communications can all be securely transmitted through the system.

Electronic notification is a legally recognized method of communication established under Law No. 7201 on Notifications and the relevant regulations. Each user is assigned a unique electronic notification address where all official correspondence is delivered.

Benefits of Using UETS

One of the main advantages of UETS is that it eliminates time and location constraints from the notification process. Common issues associated with physical mail, such as delays, lost documents, or failed deliveries, are significantly reduced.

Additional benefits include:

• Reduces paper consumption and supports environmental sustainability.

• Lowers mailing and operational costs.

• Ensures faster delivery of official notifications.

• Enables organizations to manage multiple electronic notification addresses from a centralized system.

• Improves operational efficiency while supporting legal compliance.

How to Apply for UETS

Both individuals and legal entities can apply for UETS either through PTT's online application platform or by visiting a PTT branch.

During the application process, the applicant's identity is verified, and a unique electronic notification address is created. This address is then registered within the system for receiving official notifications.

Required Documents for UETS Registration

The required documents vary depending on whether the applicant is an individual or a legal entity. Individuals are generally required to present a valid identification document, while legal entities must provide additional information and documentation.

For Those Required to Use Electronic Notifications

Institutions and individuals who are legally obligated to use electronic notifications must submit their application to PTT within one month of the obligation taking effect. The following information is typically required:

• DETSIS number and related system information for public institutions and affiliated organizations.

• MERSIS number and registration details for legal entities registered with MERSIS.

• Identity information, including the Turkish ID number or foreign identification number, for individuals.

• Contact information of the Primary Transaction Officer.

• The application form or information table requested by PTT.

• Any additional documents that may be requested by PTT when necessary.

For Those Not Required to Use Electronic Notifications

Individuals and organizations that are not legally required to receive electronic notifications may also register voluntarily. The following documents can be used for identity verification:

• Turkish citizens: Turkish ID card, passport, another valid government-issued ID, or a secure electronic signature.

• Foreign nationals: Foreign identification number, Blue Card, passport, or a secure electronic signature.

• Legal entities: Relevant registration system information and the identification details of the authorized representative.

What Is a UETS Address?

A UETS address is a unique digital address assigned to each registered user for receiving official electronic notifications. Although it functions similarly to an email address, it is intended exclusively for legally recognized official correspondence.

Government institutions use this address to send official notifications directly to recipients. Users can log into the system to view their registered address and download an official document confirming it whenever necessary.

How to Obtain Your UETS Address Document

Once the registration process is completed, users can obtain the document containing their electronic notification address either through the online system or from a PTT branch.

This document serves as official proof of the registered electronic notification address and may be required for identity or address verification during official procedures.

How Is the UETS Notification Period Calculated?

An electronic notification is considered legally delivered on the fifth day following its arrival in the recipient's UETS mailbox, regardless of whether it has been opened or read.

This period is calculated automatically by the system, ensuring transparency and preventing disputes regarding notification dates.

How to Check UETS Notifications

Users can access all electronic notifications through the UETS platform by logging into their accounts. The system allows them to review current and previous notifications, view reading history, and monitor all official correspondence in one place.

Users can also verify their registered UETS address, confirm that their information is up to date, and securely manage every official notification through a single digital platform.
