How is a Turkish court decision translated into English?

Giving notice of marriage instead of applying for a visa? The register office route, the finality annotation and how I quote the price are on divorce decree translation for UK marriage notice.

If you or your partner were married before, GOV.UK’s family visa document list asks for evidence that earlier marriages have ended, for example a divorce certificate, and for a certified translation of any document that is not in English or Welsh. Under its certification guidance the translator confirms in writing that it is a “true and accurate translation of the original document” and adds the date and their full name and contact details.

Finality annotation. A Turkish divorce decision becomes final after the appeal period, and the court adds a finality annotation (kesinleşme şerhi). Translate the decision together with this annotation. A civil registry extract (nüfus kayıt örneği) also records the divorce; translate it too if you include it.

Names and surnames. A married surname or a different spelling in your passport and the decree can look like a mismatch. Send your passport page with the order: if I see different spellings across your documents, I tell you before translating, and I do not change what the source document says.

One quote for the set. Spouse visa files often include the marriage certificate, divorce decree and registry extract together; send them at once for one written quote. The GOV.UK pages linked here do not list notarisation or an apostille for these translations; add them only if you or the receiving authority ask. For the documents the rules specify for the route in leave to remain or ILR applications made in the UK, Immigration Rules paragraph 39B(f) (and, for financial evidence, Appendix FM-SE paragraph 1(j)) adds “certification by a qualified translator and details of the translator or translation company’s credentials”; each translation I deliver carries that certification and my details as a Turkish notary-sworn translator. Prices and ordering from the UK: certified Turkish translation for UK applications. UKVI decides acceptance; I do not give immigration advice.
