What is a Certified Translation in Turkey?

A certified translation means that a professional translator did the translation, and that the translation correctly reflects the original. Each page must be stamped and signed by the translation provider in order for a translation to be qualified as a certified translation. We are a translation agency making in-house certification. When your certified translation is sent (always by premium delivery as a standard) you'll also receive a Letter of Certification which is the translation's legal background and may be asked for.

What is notarisation in Turkey and when is it needed?

Notarized translation may be needed where significant legal issues require accurate translation, such as evidence in a civil or criminal case. In order to notarize a translation, a translator must attend a Public Notary’s Office and swear before the Notary that he / she is a professional translator and that the translation is accurate to the best of his / her knowledge. The Notary will stamp and certify the translation. You will receive a copy of the notarized document, which you will need to keep safe, since a new document will have to be notarized again and accordingly the same total will have to be charged. Notarized documents involve additional legal costs and are charged per document.

What is legalization in Turkey?

Legalized translation may be needed for court or civil cases outside Turkey. Official paperwork can extend the period for legalization of translation, so please allow us enough time. Costs vary depending on the country that requires legalization, but we will try to minimize such costs for you. The most commonly used legalization process is apostilling under the Hague Convention, which has simplified the legalization process and is relatively simple to achieve.
