  • Notary certification arranged where required
  • Apostille arranged for documents used abroad
  • Digital delivery, with hard copies on request

Why choose us

  • Sworn French-Turkish translators

    Translations by translators sworn before a Turkish notary, so they can be notarized and accepted by Turkish authorities.

  • Notary and apostille handled

    We arrange notarization and, for documents used abroad, an apostille under the Hague Convention.

  • Nothing lost in translation

    Names, dates, seals and legal or technical terms carried faithfully between French and Turkish.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send your document

    Share a clear scan or photo by WhatsApp or email and tell us the direction and how the translation will be used.

  2. 2

    Sworn translation

    A sworn translator translates the document, preserving names, dates, seals and terminology exactly.

  3. 3

    Notarization

    Where the receiving authority requires it, a Turkish notary certifies the sworn translation.

  4. 4

    Apostille and delivery

    For use abroad we arrange an apostille under the Hague Convention, then deliver digital and, if needed, hard copies.

What we'll need from you

  • A clear, complete scan or photo of every page (no cropped edges).
  • The exact spelling of names as they appear in a passport or ID.
  • The country/authority the translation is for, and whether notary or apostille is needed.

What affects the cost

Document type and length
Priced per page or per word depending on the document.
Direction and language
Common documents cost less than rare or highly technical ones.
Certification level
Translation only, notarized, or notarized plus apostille.
Turnaround
Standard delivery, or urgent/same-day where the workload allows.

Every document is priced individually - contact us for a tailored quote.

A sworn French to Turkish translation is made by a translator who has taken an oath before a Turkish notary. That oath is what lets a notary certify the translation, and it is why Turkish offices, courts and consulates accept it where an ordinary translation is not enough.

Documents we most often translate from French

  • acte de naissance and acte de mariage, usually as a recent extrait
  • extrait de casier judiciaire (bulletin no 3)
  • diplome and releve de notes for equivalence applications
  • livret de famille for family applications
  • contracts, statutes and powers of attorney

Names and script

French civil records carry accents that Turkish systems often drop, so Benoit and Benoît, or Muller and Müller, can end up looking like two people across a file. We reproduce the accented form and match the passport transliteration, and we keep the order of compound given names as the acte shows them.

Before you send it

French civil status extracts are usually required to be recent, and the receiving office in Turkey may set its own limit on how old an extrait can be. Check that before ordering a translation, because a certificate that is refused for age has to be reissued and retranslated.

What happens next

Send the document with the office it is going to and your deadline, and we will confirm what it needs and quote a fixed price. Where the receiving office requires it we arrange notarization, and for use abroad an apostille. We work in both directions, French to Turkish and Turkish to French. If you are not sure which level of certification applies, see sworn vs certified vs notarized translation.

Frequently asked questions

Is an extrait enough, or do you need the full acte?

Most Turkish offices accept a recent extrait avec filiation, which shows parentage. Tell us which office will receive it and we will confirm before you order the document.

Do you translate Belgian and Swiss documents as well as French ones?

Yes. French-language documents from Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada and francophone African states are all handled the same way here; only the authentication route in the issuing country differs.

Do you also translate from Turkish into French?

Yes. We work in both directions - French to Turkish and Turkish to French.
