We handle a wide range of personal, academic, corporate and legal documents every day, ensuring that each translation matches the format and terminology expected by the receiving authority.

When Do You Need Official Document Translation in Turkey?
If you are dealing with Turkish institutions using foreign documents, or presenting Turkish documents abroad, you almost always need an official sworn or notarized translation. The reason is simple: authorities must fully understand your documents in their own official language and be able to verify them as authentic.
Here are some of the most common situations where our clients turn to us:
- Moving to Turkey – Applying for residence permits, family reunification, work permits or citizenship often requires official translations of birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearances, employment letters and bank statements into Turkish.
- Going abroad from Turkey – When you apply for visas, long-term residence, or citizenship in another country, consulates frequently ask for your Turkish population registry records, criminal records, diplomas and civil status documents to be translated into the language of the destination country.
- Studying at a foreign university – Universities abroad usually require translated and, in many cases, notarized copies of high school diplomas, university diplomas, transcripts, reference letters and course descriptions.
- International employment – Employers outside Turkey may ask for an official translation of employment certificates, reference letters, professional licenses and training certificates, as well as your passport and identity documents.
- Company setup or expansion – Foreign companies entering the Turkish market, or Turkish companies establishing branches abroad, must often submit official translations of company statutes, registry documents, board decisions, financial statements and notarized powers of attorney.
- Legal procedures and court cases – In cross-border disputes or litigation, courts in Turkey and abroad require certified translations of evidence, contracts, court decisions, expert reports, correspondence and official records.
- Marriage, divorce and family matters – If you are marrying in Turkey with a foreign partner, registering a foreign divorce, or handling international custody and inheritance issues, official translations of civil status and court documents are compulsory.
In all these scenarios, using an informal or non-certified translation can lead to rejection, delays or even legal complications. Our service ensures the translations you submit are prepared according to the standards of Turkish authorities and the specific requirements of embassies and institutions abroad.
How Our Official Translation Process Works
We have streamlined our process so that you can obtain compliant official translations without leaving your home or office. From upload to delivery, every step is digital, secure and transparent, while the final output is fully acceptable for official use.
1. Upload your documents
Start by uploading clear scans or photos of your documents. We accept PDF, JPEG, PNG and most common formats. If you have multiple pages, you can upload them as a single file or as separate pages — our team will organise them correctly for translation.
2. See your instant price
Once your files are uploaded, our system immediately analyses the content and language pair. Within seconds, you see a detailed price for sworn or notarized translation, along with the estimated delivery time. There are no hidden fees; the price you see is the price you pay.
If your document has special formatting or additional requirements, you can leave a note during upload. Our project managers review every order to ensure that notary, consular or court requirements are met before we start.
3. Confirm and pay securely via PayTR
You can confirm your order and pay online using PayTR, Turkey’s leading secure payment infrastructure. We support major credit and debit cards and offer 256-bit SSL encryption to protect your payment data. Your invoice and order confirmation are sent to you instantly via email.
4. Sworn translation and optional notarization
Your documents are assigned to a sworn translator registered for the relevant language pair. The translator prepares your translation in the precise layout required for official use, including names, numbers, dates, stamps and references. Where necessary, we coordinate with a notary public to obtain notarization on your behalf, so that your translation is legally certified.
If you also need apostille or consular legalization, let us know during ordering. We will make sure the translations are prepared in the format that supports these additional legalisation steps.
5. Delivery of your official translation
We deliver a digital copy of your translation by email, and, if required by the receiving authority, we send the original signed and stamped documents to your address by courier. Many institutions now accept digital sworn translations; however, whenever a physical original is needed, we will clearly inform you and arrange delivery.
From upload to final delivery, our team remains in contact with you, answering any questions and ensuring that your translation is ready for submission on or before your deadline.
Sworn Translators Registered in Turkey
Official translations for use in Turkey must be prepared by sworn translators who are registered with notaries and recognised by public authorities. We work only with experienced professionals who have proven expertise in their language pairs and subject fields.
Each sworn translator:
- Signs and stamps the translation, declaring that it is a faithful and complete translation of the original document.
- Uses terminology consistent with the expectations of Turkish notaries, courts and ministries, or, for foreign authorities, the official terminology and format of the target country.
- Follows our strict quality assurance procedures, including double-checking all numerical data, names, dates and references before delivery.
Because our translators are officially registered and experienced with institutional standards, their translations are widely accepted by Turkish authorities and by many consulates and international organisations. This significantly reduces the risk of rejection and saves you time and effort.
Accepted by Institutions, Consulates and Courts
The primary purpose of an official translation is acceptance — by the institution, consulate, university or court that requested it. Our agency has extensive experience working with the requirements of various domestic and international bodies, including:
- Turkish ministries and directorates (Interior, Education, Justice, Health, etc.)
- Provincial immigration and population directorates
- Courts of first instance, family courts and commercial courts
- Notary publics throughout Turkey
- Foreign consulates and embassies in Turkey
- Universities and professional accreditation bodies worldwide
- International companies, banks and financial institutions
Before we begin your project, we consider where and how your documents will be used. For example, some consulates accept sworn translations without notarization, while others require a notarized version or even an apostille. Our team advises you on these details so you submit the correct form of translation the first time.
If the receiving institution has specific guidelines (such as wording, layout or language variants), you can share them with us at the start. We adapt our work accordingly, helping you avoid delays or additional costs due to non-compliant translations.
Speed, Reliability and Transparent Pricing
We understand that official procedures are often time-sensitive. Visa appointments, court hearings, application windows and tender deadlines leave little room for error or delay. Our workflow is designed to deliver fast, without compromising legal accuracy.
Depending on the length and complexity of your documents, many translations are completed within 24–48 hours. Urgent same-day options are available for short documents, such as birth and marriage certificates or single-page attestations. For larger or more complex files, we will confirm a realistic timeline and keep you updated at every stage.
Our pricing is transparent from the moment you upload your files. Rates are based on:
- Source and target language
- Number of pages or word count
- Whether notarization is required
- Urgency and requested delivery time
There are no surprise charges; any additional services are clearly presented before you confirm your order. You can see your exact cost in seconds on our instant quote page and decide how and when to proceed.
Confidentiality and Data Protection
Official documents frequently contain highly sensitive information: personal identity details, financial records, health data, criminal records, and confidential business information. Protecting this data is one of our core responsibilities as a professional translation agency.
We employ 256-bit SSL encryption on all file uploads and communications, ensuring that your documents are transmitted securely between your device and our servers. Access to your files is strictly limited to the project manager and sworn translator assigned to your project. All of our staff and translators are bound by confidentiality agreements.
We comply with KDPA and GDPR principles, meaning we only process your data for the purpose of providing the requested service, and we retain documents only for the legally required period or as long as necessary to assist you with any follow-up needs. You may request deletion of your files after completion, and we will ensure they are securely removed from our systems.
