02Certification guide
Sworn, notarised, apostilled: which one do you need?
The three are easily confused, and a wrongly certified document comes back. The order never changes; each step builds on the last.
Where is your document going?
An apostille is added on top of the notarised translation; no consular legalisation is needed. Some countries also want an apostille on the original.
- I
Sworn translation RequiredNot needed on this route
The translator, whose oath record is kept at a notary, signs and seals the translation. It is official, but not yet certified.
- II
Notarisation RequiredNot needed on this route
The notary certifies the translator's signature. Under article 96 of the Turkish Notary Regulation, the notary may only use translators whose oath record is on file. We handle this step.
- III
Apostille RequiredNot needed on this route
For countries party to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, the governorate issues an apostille. One certificate replaces the chain of legalisation.
- IV
Consular legalisation RequiredNot needed on this route
For countries outside the Convention. Timing depends on the consulate, so we quote it separately.
The receiving authority has the final word. Ask them in writing which certification they need; we can help you word it.

06FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Why not quote before seeing the document?
Page count, document type, certification and turnaround set the price together. A one page transcript and a contract full of tables are different jobs, so we quote in writing after seeing it.
02Do I need to come to the office for notarisation?
No. We handle notarisation together with our translator. We send the certified original by courier or hand it over at our office.
03Is a phone photo of the document good enough?
For a quote, usually yes. For the translation every seal and annotation has to be legible; if part of the photo cannot be read, we ask for a sharper scan.
04Who obtains the apostille?
For documents issued in Turkey, the governorate issues it; for court documents, the competent judicial authority. We can apply for you once you confirm which document needs it.
05How long are my documents kept?
In an encrypted area only the translator and project lead can open. Files are deleted 30 days after delivery, or sooner on request.
