In Turkey, "sworn translation" (yeminli tercume) has a precise legal meaning: it is a translation produced 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 ministries, courts, universities and consulates accept it while they would refuse an ordinary one.
We produce sworn translations of the documents people most often need certified - birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and transcripts, powers of attorney, contracts and court papers - keeping names, dates and seals exactly as they appear. When a document is going abroad, we also arrange the apostille.
If you are unsure whether you need a sworn, certified or notarized translation, our plain-English comparison settles it in a minute. Otherwise, send your document and tell us where it is going and we will confirm what it needs.
Frequently asked questions
What is a sworn translation in Turkey?
It is a translation made by a translator who has taken an oath before a Turkish notary. Because the notary holds the translator's signature and oath on file, the notary can certify the translation, which is what makes it valid for official use.
Is a sworn translation the same as a notarized one?
No. The sworn translator produces the translation; notarization is the separate step where the notary certifies it. Many authorities ask for a sworn translation that is then notarized.
Will the translation be accepted abroad?
For use outside Turkey you usually also need an apostille, which we can arrange under the Hague Convention. Tell us the destination country and we will advise.
