Common questions
DASK insurance FAQ
Is DASK earthquake insurance compulsory in Turkey?
Yes. DASK (Doğal Afet Sigortaları Kurumu) is mandatory for all residential properties registered in Turkey. You cannot renew your electricity or water subscription, sell a property, or take out a mortgage without a valid DASK policy.
What does DASK cover?
DASK covers structural damage caused by earthquakes — including fire, explosion and landslide directly following an earthquake. It does not cover contents or fixtures. For broader cover you should add a home insurance policy.
How much does DASK cost?
DASK premiums are set by the government and based on your property's floor area, construction type and location zone. Typical annual premiums range from a few hundred to a few thousand Turkish Lira. We can calculate your exact premium in minutes.
Can expats and foreign property owners get DASK?
Yes. DASK is required for all residential properties in Turkey regardless of the owner's nationality. Our team handles DASK for thousands of foreign property owners every year.
How do I get a DASK policy?
Just provide your property's DASK number (DASK numarası) or title deed (tapu) details. We handle the rest and issue the policy — usually within the same day.
