Certified Turkish to English translation for Ireland

For visa purposes, ISD asks that state-issued documents such as birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates from outside the EEA or Switzerland are attested or apostilled, and adds: “Translations done outside the EEA or Switzerland must also be attested/apostilled as genuine, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country in which the translation occurs.”

For these documents I prepare the certified translation and, depending on the document and the competent authority's procedure, can help organise its notarisation in Türkiye and the apostille on the translation; these costs may be assessed separately from the translation fee. The apostille on your Turkish certificate and the apostille on the translation are two separate certificates. Birth certificate · Marriage certificate.

For citizenship (naturalisation) applications, documents not in English or Irish need a certified translation. The ISD citizenship guidance I checked does not list the extra apostille-on-translation step that applies to civil-status documents in visa applications; follow the instructions for your own application.

A Turkish divorce decree is translated in full together with its finality annotation (kesinleşme şerhi), which shows the decision is final. For an Irish visa or family application, the translation-apostille rule above applies. For a marriage in Ireland, the civil registration service asks you to contact the Registrar about a foreign divorce, so I follow the Registrar’s instructions.

Translations for Irish court proceedings can require a translator’s affidavit or statement of truth; tell me if your document is for a court, and I confirm before you pay whether I can provide what is needed. Court decision and divorce decree translation.

ISD describes a certified translation as one signed and dated by a recognised person or organisation, with the translator writing “Certified to be true copy/translation of the original seen by me”, signing and dating it, printing their name, and adding their occupation, address and telephone number.

For Irish applications my translation carries this certification wording, my signature and stamp, the date, my printed name, my occupation as a sworn translator registered at the Kartal 12th and Gebze 19th Notary Offices, and my address, telephone and email. ISD decides whether a document is accepted. Source: ISD — how to make a certified translation.

• Certified translation only — for most visa supporting documents (bank statements, employment and income documents, criminal records): the translation tariff applies.
• Notarised translation with an apostille — for birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates in visa and family applications: the translation is notarised in Türkiye and the apostille on it is issued by the competent Turkish authority according to its procedure; where the procedure allows, I can help organise these steps, and their costs may be assessed separately from the translation fee.
• Source-document apostille — some Turkish documents can receive an e-Apostil through eapostil.gov.tr (Ministry of Justice); which documents are covered depends on the competent authority's system, and other documents receive a paper apostille. For eligible documents, where the conditions are met, I can help organise the e-Apostille process.

ISD’s wording refers to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the translation is made. In Türkiye the Hague apostille on a notarised translation is issued by the competent Turkish authority according to its procedure; I have not seen an ISD statement that addresses the Turkish route specifically, so if your application is time-critical, confirm with ISD or the Embassy of Ireland in Türkiye.
