How it works

Certified document process in 4 clear steps.

I review the document first, then confirm the translation fee and, if needed, the notary process separately.

01

Send your document

A photo or PDF on WhatsApp or by e-mail is all it takes, wherever you are.

02

Get your quote

You'll receive a written quote based on the document type, length and how quickly you need it; pay by credit/debit card, by bank transfer to my IBAN, or in cash in person.

03

Notarisation if required

If the receiving institution requires it, notarisation is arranged separately: do it yourself, or ask me to arrange it; it depends on the notary office's acceptance requirements.

04

Receive your translation

Where suitable, delivery is digital. A physical copy can be collected or sent by courier; shipping is paid by the recipient.

Send your document. I'll prepare your translation. Review it first, then pay.

The source document and its English translation

I translate the full text of the source document, including stamps and annotations, in the same layout. The layout below is representative; it contains no real document, personal data, stamp or signature.

Signed PDF delivery

I send short standard documents as a signed and stamped PDF within 24 hours, and a wet-signed paper copy by courier on request.

Interpreting is a separate service: English–Turkish consecutive interpreting for supplier meetings, factory visits and business meetings on Istanbul's Asian side, with the hourly rate and regional minimum on that page. How the fee is calculated: hiring an interpreter in Istanbul.

03
Translation fees

Clear pricing, clear process.

Credit/debit card, bank transfer or cash in person · notary fees separate

Notary fees are not included; the notary office calculates them under the 2026 Notary Fee Tariff — my estimate is roughly 1,060-1,770 ₺ for IDs and passports, 1,900-3,000 ₺ for diplomas and transcripts. Acceptance, fees and original-document requirements vary from one notary office to another and cannot be guaranteed.

Before you pay

Send Your Document First. Pay After Reviewing Your Quote.

Certified translation requirements can vary by document and receiving authority. Send your document via WhatsApp, talk to me directly, and get a written quote covering the translation, any required certification and delivery options before making payment.

  1. Send your document. A photo or PDF by WhatsApp, and tell me where it will be used.
  2. I review it. The document, its language pair, the purpose and the service you need — including whether notarisation, an apostille, a signed paper copy or international delivery is needed.
  3. You receive a written quote. Translation, any required certification, delivery and turnaround, before you pay.
  4. I prepare your translation. No upfront payment is required for the translation.
  5. You see it first. Once your translation is completed, I share a watermarked preview showing a suitable part of the document. The preview does not expose unnecessary personal data and does not replace the signed and stamped official document.
  6. Then you pay. After your payment is confirmed, I deliver the final, watermark-free translation with the translator’s statement, signature and stamp in the agreed format.

See that your translation is ready before you pay. No upfront payment is required, either to request a quote or for the translation. I cannot guarantee that a foreign authority will accept a document; where its requirements are unclear, I tell you to confirm them with the receiving authority before you pay.

I accept credit and debit cards. After you accept the written quote, you can pay by card, by bank transfer to my IBAN, or by Western Union where delivery to a bank account is available from your location; cash is possible in person in Türkiye. Card payments are made through a secure payment link in US dollars (USD); card charges, if any, are stated in your quote.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

If your question isn't covered, share the document on WhatsApp for a pre-assessment.

Does my document need a sworn translation, notarisation or an apostille?

The receiving institution decides; for most procedures a sworn translation alone is enough, land-registry and court matters usually ask for notarisation, and whether an apostille is needed depends on the country and the institution. Run your case through the Turkish document abroad checker.

Is the notary fee included in the translation price?

No. Notary fees are separate: the notary office calculates them under Turkey's 2026 Notary Fee Tariff and the Fees Law. My estimate is roughly 1,060-1,770 ₺ for IDs and passports, and 1,900-3,000 ₺ for diplomas and transcripts.

Is sending the document on WhatsApp enough?

Yes — a photo or PDF is enough for review and quoting. At the notary stage, the original document or an e-Government barcoded PDF may be required, depending on the notary office.

Can e-Government barcoded documents be used?

Yes — barcoded PDFs of diplomas, transcripts and student records work fine for review. Whether the notary accepts them depends on that office's practice. See also: sworn vs. notarized translation.

Is same-day translation possible?

I deliver short standard documents within 24 hours; same-day delivery is possible for some eligible orders. Priority (urgent) handling is +500 ₺; long documents are timed and priced in the written quote. I confirm the exact turnaround once I've seen the document.

What payment methods are accepted?

I accept payment by credit/debit card, in cash in person or by bank transfer to my IBAN; payment details are sent with the written quote. International transfers depend on the sending bank. International clients may pay by credit/debit card, by bank transfer or by Western Union, where bank-account delivery is available. For Western Union transfers, please share the MTCN by e-mail or WhatsApp after initiating payment. Payment is confirmed once the funds reach my bank account. I specify transfer fees and payment instructions in the quotation. Credit/debit cards, bank transfers and Western Union are accepted. PayPal and Wise are not currently supported.

I'm outside Turkey — how do I order and receive the translation?

Send a photo or PDF of your document on WhatsApp or by e-mail; I send you the price and turnaround in writing, and you can pay by credit/debit card, by bank transfer to my IBAN (international transfers depend on the sending bank) or by Western Union where bank-account delivery is available; I confirm payment once the funds reach my bank account. Where suitable, I deliver the translation digitally. If you need a physical copy, I can send it by courier: shipping costs are paid by the recipient, you can choose the courier, and delivery depends on the routes that courier serves. Notarisation is not needed for every translation; if the receiving institution requires it, you can arrange it yourself under the notary office's rules or ask me to arrange it; it depends on the notary office's acceptance requirements and I agree the process with you in advance. Acceptance depends on the institution you submit the translation to, so please confirm its requirements in advance.
