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.

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.
