For documents that must be officially valid, an accurate and certified translation is the most important step.
At our Zeytinburnu office, our sworn translators provide sworn and notarized translation for all of your official documents.
What Is Sworn Translation?
Sworn translation is the translation of documents by translators who have taken an oath before a Turkish notary and are authorised to sign their translations.
The translator's signature confirms the accuracy of the translation, so it can be used in official procedures.
Which Documents Need It?
- Civil registry extracts, ID cards, passports, driving licences
- Birth, marriage and divorce documents (Formula A/B/C, marriage certificate)
- Diplomas, transcripts, student and graduation letters
- Powers of attorney, letters of consent, criminal record certificates
- Certificates of residence, military status documents, social security records
Where needed, we also guide you through notary certification and apostille.
Sworn vs. Notarized Translation
- Sworn translation: Translated by a sworn translator and validated with their signature and stamp.
- Notarized translation: A notary certification is added on top of the sworn translation. Some institutions accept sworn translation alone, others require the notary's certification.
How It Works
- Review: We confirm the format and requirements of the institution requesting the document.
- Sworn translation: A specialist translator for the language pair translates and signs the document.
- Notary and apostille: If required, notary and governorship procedures are arranged.
- Delivery: You receive the translation as a PDF or as a signed printed copy.
