A sworn Japanese 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 Japanese
- koseki tohon, the family register that serves as the civil status record
- juminhyo, the certificate of residence
- graduation certificates and academic transcripts
- marriage acceptance certificates for foreign marriages
- corporate registry extracts and contracts
Names and script
Japan does not issue a birth certificate in the form most countries use: the koseki family register is the record of birth, marriage and parentage, which surprises people who are asked for a birth certificate in Turkey. Japanese names also carry more than one possible reading for the same kanji, so the passport Latin spelling is the reference and we reproduce the kanji alongside it.
Before you send it
Japanese documents are authenticated in Japan before translation. The koseki is issued by the municipality that holds the register rather than the place of birth, which is worth knowing if you no longer live in Japan and have to request it remotely.
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, Japanese to Turkish and Turkish to Japanese. If you are not sure which level of certification applies, see sworn vs certified vs notarized translation.
Frequently asked questions
I was asked for a birth certificate but Japan does not issue one.
The koseki tohon is the equivalent, and Turkish offices accept it once it is translated and notarized. It records birth, parentage and marriage in one document.
Do you reproduce the kanji or only the reading?
Both. The Turkish text uses the passport spelling, and the kanji is reproduced so the notary can see that the translation matches the original document.
Do you also translate from Turkish into Japanese?
Yes. We work in both directions - Japanese to Turkish and Turkish to Japanese.
