Certified Turkish to English translation for the Netherlands

IND asks for documents that are not in Dutch, English, French or German to be translated into one of these languages, and accepts translations made abroad: “You can also have your document translated abroad. Usually, you need to have the document and the translation legalised.” Source: IND — translation and legalisation.

I translate the documents for residence and family reunification files — civil-status records, police certificates, divorce decrees and income documents — and, when your application needs them, can help organise notarisation of the translation and an apostille on it, depending on the document and the competent authority's procedure.

A multilingual Turkish civil-status extract (Formül A/B/C) already contains English; ask the receiving authority whether it is enough on its own — if it is, you do not need a translation. For municipal registration in the BRP, a translation the municipality asks for must be made by a translator sworn under Dutch law (RvIG).

Turkish divorce decrees and other court judgments are often needed in IND residence and family reunification files, and in international legal matters. I translate the full decision together with its finality annotation (kesinleşme şerhi), so the authority can see that the decision is final.

Long judgments and legal files are quoted after I see them. Dutch courts, lawyers and other bodies set their own document rules; check what the receiving body asks for, and I prepare the translation and, where the document and the competent authority's procedure allow, help organise any notarisation or apostille it needs.

For a foreign company or branch, KVK says: “The documents must be in Dutch, English, German, or French. If this is not the case, you must have the document translated.” KVK needs the translation and the original document, and documents from outside the EU must be legalised. Sources: KVK — foreign companies, Form 6.

I translate trade registry extracts, articles of association, board resolutions, signature circulars and commercial contracts into English. Long documents are quoted after review.

If your receiving authority accepts English, you may not need to pay for a Dutch translation. Turkish–Dutch sworn translation is a specialised language pair in the Netherlands; Turkish–English is the pair I translate every day.

Compare the full cost, not only the translation fee: where the translation alone is enough, the 850 ₺ (≈ €15.99) / from 1.150 ₺ (≈ €20.99) tariff applies; where notarisation, an apostille or courier delivery is needed, these are added to your quote. Where a local Dutch sworn translation is required or simpler for your procedure, that is the better route.

• Translation only — sworn English translation, signed and stamped, delivered as a PDF: 850 ₺ (≈ €15.99) or from 1.150 ₺ (≈ €20.99) per document. If the receiving authority accepts this, you need nothing more.
• Notarised translation — when the receiving authority or you require it: the translation price, with notary, courier and organisation costs assessed in one written quote according to the document and the scope of the work.
• Notarisation and apostille — where the document and the competent authority's procedure allow, help organising notarisation of the translation and an apostille on it, guidance on the apostille for your Turkish source document, and courier delivery if needed; these costs may be assessed separately from the translation fee.

The apostille on your Turkish source document and the apostille on the notarised translation are separate certificates. Translating the source document’s apostille does not apostille the translation. I add these steps only when your procedure asks for them.

Some Turkish documents can receive an electronic apostille (e-Apostil) through eapostil.gov.tr, also reachable via e-Devlet (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. Many Turkish records, such as the criminal record and the civil registry extract, can be obtained online through e-Devlet even from abroad.

An e-Apostille on the source document is not an apostille on the translation, and it does not replace notarisation of the translation where that is required. The receiving Dutch authority decides whether it accepts digital documents.
