Can anyone confirm please what stamps are required for the Muhtars letter.

The Girne Muhtar provides the stamp as part of his fee.

From the post office, 4tl.

It's a 4TL stamp for muhtar letter.

He's not supposed to charge a fee, he's a Public Servant, doing the job that he's paid to do!
He should charge you for the stamp of course, if you don't supply one yourself.

KC is absolutely right there shouldn't be a "fee" for signing paperwork. Our Muhtar charges nothing. He signed at the bottom and said "just stick a stamp next to it" KC, I think Brinsley didn't actually mean that Muhtar charged anyone a fee but rather what he was paid by the Government.

Brinsley?

Have always paid a 10tl fee each, for getting our mukhtars letter from karsiyaka.........for residency purposes.......and we supply the stamp.......not that bothered to be honest........but Keith has made a valid point.......

We live in Karsiyaka and have never paid for a muhtar's letter even though all the other Brits seemed happy to cough up. There was only one local muhtar who didn't ask for, or expect, a payment and that was a CTP guy, who was the one before Nick (Ahmet), who has been in office for years now. Last couple of times we've been, Nick has been conspicuous by his absence and a lady has stood in. I suppose it's unreasonable for her to give her time for nothing, so I did a bit of interpreting for some of the mickey taking boozed-up Brits who were trying to get sorted and she waved me away anyway, when I tried to cross her palm.

Frontal........it all started for us, when the mukhtar was the fella from the co op shop in the village..........now that’s 14 years ago........and his office, was the shop counter...........Anyway, as I’m a bit of a Charlie chuckaway, never ever bothered to query the fee............in fact, it seemed to be the norm, for everybody.........except for you.........you must have been a bit of a geezer.........anyway, I’m off to get my calculator.......so that’s 14 letters x 2........at 20tl a pop..........hang about.........I’ve been robbed..........call a copper.......
TADAAR......

February 2020, Girne Mukhtar, opposite the P.O. For proof of residency (after 20 years?) 10TL fee after 20 minute queue wait. FACT

I wouldn't dispute the fact that he asks for 10TL - and given that he includes a 4TL stamp for that, it's hardly extortionate, I was merely making the point that he is already being paid for doing it...

If you're happy, that's all that matters!

If you live hete long enough you know you have to pay!!!!!!!!!

10Tl is neither here nor there for me however, there maybe a few who got caught short of changing all their currency to Tl when interest beckoned at 20% + not anticipating a rapid decline of the Lira as well as the interest rates offered.

Should you wish for a few free Kukus to see you through to the end of the month please contact me!!

I agree that the amounts involved are negligible, and thanks for the offer, but I'll cope somehow

I was just making a pedantic point, as is my wont...

You're wite!

Duly edited, thank you.

20TL Blimey, I was working on 10. I've been saving more than I thought. I'll throw a party and invite everyone. Hold on that's not right..............

Welcome!

But I have to admit I was expecting a “will”!

Or maybe that would have been too flippant for this erstwhile gathering!
