It is obligatory to make electronic notification to joint stock
companies, limited liability companies, and limited liability
partnerships divided into shares.
In the event electronic notification pursuant to the first and second
paragraphs cannot be made due to mandatory reasons, notification
will be made by other means that are mentioned in this Law.
Electronic notification is deemed to have been made at the end
of the fifth day following the arrival of the notification in the
electronic address of the addressee.”
The justification for the Regulation prepared in accordance with this
provision is as follows: In recent years, significant developments in the
field of technology and informatics, and innovations as a result of these
developments, may be noticed in each phase of life. Laws and secondary
legislation, which must be amended accordingly, need to be up to date
and meet the requirements, and also be parallel with economic, social and
technological developments. In this regard, several technology related
regulations have been made in Turkey and the opportunities and facilities
provided by information technologies have been put into practice in many
areas. Electronic communication is a much faster and cheaper way of
communicating than traditional methods.
The aim of these legal provisions is to make notifications cheap, safe
and easy within the shortest amount of time.

electronic notification addresses from PTT. However, the notifications
to the addressees who obtain their electronic notification addresses from
service providers other than PTT will be made through the servers of said
service providers. Reports of notifications will be issued via PTT servers
