As a rule, in lawsuits regarding name change, the plaintiff has to put forward a just cause, but the legislator does not seek any reason for filing a lawsuit in age correction lawsuits. However, there are still strict conditions stipulated in order for the Court to decide on a change of age. Among these conditions:
- The person must not have been born in a hospital or maternity home. (Relevant institution records are final)
- The person’s appearance should not be in accordance with the registered age in the population.
- The person’s appearance must be in accordance with the declared age.
- If the person wishes to increase their age, a sibling of the declared age should not be present.
- In order to reduce his age, he should not claim to have been born on the date before his birth.
- The person should not have made age correction before.
- The conditions are as mentioned and all of these conditions must be fulfilled. It can be said that the age difference between the plaintiff and her mother will also be taken into account by the court during the trial process. In addition, in some decisions of the Court of Cassation, it is stated that the age correction lawsuit filed after the age of 25 should be rejected as it will not be possible to determine the exact date of birth of the plaintiff.
