The life of Mehmet Nafiz Bey began in Foča (Foça). The annual lists begin in 1898/99 (AH 1316), with Mehmet Nafiz as Ticaret mahkemesi başkâtibi and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1903 give a second post, in Elbasan as Bidayet mahkemesi müddeiumumi muavini. At the same time, from 1902 to 1909, the lists also place Mehmet Nafiz in Prizren as Bidayet mahkemesi ceza dairesi reisi.
