Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi announced that 487,596 documents must be renewed by the end of 2026, comprising 112,791 identity cards and 374,805 driver's licenses. He warned that expired documents will become invalid and urged citizens not to postpone their applications until the final day. The figure matters because it sets the scale of the renewal burden facing citizens and issuing offices over the coming period. What to watch next is whether the public heeds the call early or leaves a large share of renewals to the deadline, straining processing capacity.
