A driver's license can carry a medical-review deadline that needs attention before the license itself is renewed, according to Turkey's CNN TÜRK. Its brief report directs drivers to the codes on the back of their cards and to medical records available through e-Devlet, Turkey's online government-services portal.

The bulletin opens with traffic checks and license-printing footage, warning that failing to check the requirements could lead to a fine. The presenter then explains the medical-report renewal codes shown in field 12 on the reverse of the license.

According to the report, code 103.01 requires renewal every three months; 103.02 every six months; 103.03 annually; 103.04 every three years; and 103.05 every five years. These are intervals attached to the specified codes, not a single renewal schedule presented for every driver.

To find the relevant record online, the bulletin tells viewers to search e-Devlet for "e-İmzalı Sürücü Raporları," meaning electronically signed driver medical reports.

The report also warns that compulsory traffic insurance and comprehensive vehicle insurance may not cover damage following an accident if a required medical report has expired, potentially leaving the driver facing substantial compensation costs. It closes by directing people whose reports have expired, or are approaching their deadline, to a family physician to obtain a new report.
