Subject 03: National Judiciary Informatics System (UYAP)
- UYAP Applications in Civil Courts
In accordance with Article 445 of Law No. 6100 Code of Civil Procedure, the National Judiciary Information System (UYAP) is an informatics system created for the purpose of conducting judicial services electronically. In cases where lawsuits and other judicial proceedings are carried out in an electronic environment, data is recorded and stored using UYAP.
In an electronic environment, lawsuits can be initiated using a secured electronic signature, court fees and advances can be paid, and court files can be examined. In cases within the scope of this Law that require the preparation of physical records and documents, these can be prepared and sent electronically using a secured electronic signature. Records and documents created with a secured electronic signature are not sent physically, and no document copy is required.
In cases where a physical copy must be made from an electronic environment, the original is signed and sealed by the judge or the designated clerk, indicating that it is the same as the electronic document.
The deadline for transactions conducted in an electronic environment ends at the close of the day.
The procedures and principles for the use of UYAP in ongoing cases, uncontested litigation, provisional legal protection, and all other proceedings in courts are regulated by regulations.
- The Use of UYAP
According to Article 5 titled “The Use of UYAP” in the Regulation of the Law on Judicial Procedures No. 28253 published in the Official Gazette on April 3, 2012:
All kinds of data, information, document flow, and documentation processes in the workflow of courts and legal departments, as well as all records, filing, storage, and archiving processes related to these processes and any transactions with external units with established compliance and cooperation, are carried out through the UYAP environment.
The president of the department, judge, member, chief clerk, and other staff are responsible for daily control of their task lists and for fulfilling the requirements of the current stage of the proceedings.
All kinds of documents physically provided to courts and legal departments are transferred to the electronic environment, recorded in the UYAP system, and sent to the relevant unit.
Parties, their attorneys, and other concerned individuals can send information and documents to courts or legal departments in electronic form via UYAP by signing them with a secured electronic signature.
Minutes, documents, and decisions are prepared in an electronic environment and, if necessary, signed by concerned parties with a secured electronic signature. Documents created in electronic form and signed with a secured electronic signature are sent to the units within the scope of UYAP in electronic form. They are not sent physically.
In cases where physical documents or decisions are prepared due to technical reasons, they are immediately transferred to the electronic environment after the obstacle is removed. They are signed by authorized persons with a secured electronic signature, recorded in UYAP, and, when necessary, sent to the relevant units through UYAP. The original copies of these documents and decisions, which are transferred to the electronic environment and sent to the relevant units, are kept in their respective places, and they are not sent physically. However, exceptions are made in cases where it is mandatory to examine the original documents. Documents that cannot be transferred to an electronic environment are stored in physical form and sent physically when necessary.
If documents prepared through UYAP and signed with a secured electronic signature cannot be sent electronically to external units, a physical copy is obtained. It is signed by a judge or a designated clerk, indicating that it is the same as the electronically signed original, and it is sent in physical form.
Deadlines for actions taken in an electronic environment end at the close of the day. To ensure that electronic transactions do not extend to the next day, they must be completed by 00:00.
Deadlines for actions taken in physical form end at the end of working hours.

- UYAP Celse Mobile Application
As part of the ongoing efforts to facilitate and enhance the participation of lawyers, who are fundamental components of the legal system, in judicial activities, various new applications are being introduced in addition to the Attorney Portal Information System. In this context, the CELSE mobile application, which is compatible with UYAP, has been developed by the Presidency’s technical team and made available for use by lawyers.
This initiative aims to streamline legal proceedings and improve the involvement of lawyers in the judicial process through the utilization of technology.
ELSA application provides two methods for access:
– Access via the “UYAP Information” > “My Information” > “Mobile User Operations” menu in the UYAP Attorney Information System, where a password is created and the application is accessed with the TC Identification number.
– Access can be achieved using the E-Government portal with a mobile signature. In this case, within the CELSE application, features that are not active when accessed with a password, such as viewing and downloading all case documents, participating in E-Hearings, and submitting excuses, will become active.
To increase the variety of services offered to lawyers and facilitate their tracking of legal proceedings, the “CELSE” (Mobile Attorney Information System), which was prepared by the technical team of the Ministry of Justice Information Processing Department in a short period of one month in accordance with the requirements of the era, was introduced to lawyers on April 5, 2018, during the celebration of Lawyers’ Day in Afyonkarahisar.
Lawyers can download the “CELSE” application for free from the AppStore and Google Play Store. After installing the application on devices such as Android or iOS smartphones, tablets, and others, they can log in to the application by creating the necessary passwords through the UYAP Attorney Portal Information System.
Source: https://esatis.uyap.gov.tr/main/destek/celse-mobil-kullanim.pdf
With the “CELSE” application, lawyers can perform the following actions for the cases they represent:
– Listing and searching for execution and lawsuit files, viewing party and attorney information, and file cover details, tracking document transactions, and viewing documents in UDF format with the option for document viewing and downloading using mobile signatures.
– Listing hearings on selected dates, viewing hearings in real-time, daily, and monthly, accessing file details, and submitting excuses or e-hearing requests. With a mobile signature and by downloading the E-Hearing application, lawyers can participate in e-hearings.
– Listing hearings for a selected court unit and viewing real-time hearing information, allowing them to track all court hearings instantly.
– Performing operations to view hearing information through the calendar and updating contact information in the UYAP system.
– Lawyers can customize notification settings based on their preferences to determine which court proceedings will trigger notifications through the application.
– With a mobile signature, lawyers can view the contents of the case file.
– In the ordinary update of UYAP in September 2021, the Celse application enables the notification of case cancellation to the attorneys through mobile devices when a hearing is canceled in the file.
– Additionally, lawyers can use “CELSE” to inquire about auction dates and use the application as an agenda tool.
– If, for any reason, a judge assigned to a hearing cannot attend, the judicial assignment screen, used by the Judicial and Administrative Justice Commissions, records the reason and date of assignment when another judge is assigned. When judge leave information is entered into the system, lawyers can quickly and accurately access judge leave details.
The “CELSE” application is open to further development, and in the future, new services required by users will be added to the application.

With this application, citizens will be able to access the cases and proceedings in which they are involved in all judicial and administrative units across Turkey, as well as view case cover details and hearing information on their mobile devices. Here are some of the features of the application:
- View and Update UYAP Information
- File Inquiry
- View Case Cover, File Parties, and Attorney Information
- Hearing Inquiry
- Hearing Tracking
- Calendar
- E-Duruşma Mobile Application
E-Hearing is an application that allows authorized users to participate in court hearings through video conferencing infrastructure in an electronic environment.
E-Hearing enables various parties, especially lawyers, to remotely participate in any stage of a trial, leading to time and effort savings. This is particularly significant during the pandemic period as it reduces the need for travel and physical interaction.
Please note that E-Hearing is an intermediary application developed within the Ministry of Justice. You cannot directly use the application; it allows you to participate in approved hearings via the lawyer portal or the Celse application.
Requests for E-Hearing can be made through UYAP mobile applications, the lawyer or citizen portal at least two working days before the hearing date. The judge will decide on the acceptance or rejection of the E-Hearing request at least one working day before the hearing date.
In cases where a party, witness, expert, or others may face difficulty attending the court due to illness, age, or disability, they may be allowed to participate in the hearing from their place of residence or institution using the E-Hearing system. Furthermore, the court may decide to hear witnesses, experts, or other parties via the E-Hearing system in cases where parties cannot freely dispose of the matter.
To participate in an E-Hearing, the requesting party’s lawyer can attend from their law firm, a designated section of the bar association, a designated place within the courthouse, or any other suitable location. The same applies to witnesses, experts, and other concerned individuals whose E-Hearing participation has been decided by the court.
The location for E-Hearing must be free from any interference or guidance, allowing the observer to accurately observe facial expressions, body language, attitudes, and behaviors, and listen to what is being said.
E-Hearing has the same legal consequences as hearings held in the presence of the court. In cases where the court deems it necessary, it may decide to record the E-Hearing, with the recordings being stored for two weeks in the Central Registration System. After this period, the data on the Central Registration System will be irreversibly deleted. Recordings obtained in this manner cannot be published anywhere without the express permission of the court and relevant individuals.
For seamless use of the application, it is recommended to have a connection speed of approximately 10 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload for a conference with up to three participants, depending on the number of participants in the hearing. If possible, using a wireless network can provide a more efficient video conferencing experience.
