What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a complete English translation that the translator certifies as accurate, together with a statement of the translator's competence in both languages.
The USCIS translation rule (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)) asks for the translator's written certification of accuracy and competency; it does not mention notarization or an apostille. Every certified PDF I deliver includes that certification.
In U.S. practice a "certified translation" is not a government licence. It is the translator's written declaration — typically: "I, [name], certify that I am competent to translate from Turkish into English and that this translation is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a true and accurate translation of the original document." — with the translator's name, signature and date. Using an independent, competent translator rather than the applicant or a party to the case is common practice. Every certified PDF I deliver carries this declaration together with the translator's sworn-translator registration details. Spelling, name or number errors caused by my translation are corrected free of charge, including when USCIS points out such an error in a Request for Evidence (RFE). Before delivery I check the spelling of names and confirm it with you where needed. Acceptance cannot be guaranteed: USCIS decides on the application.

Pricing
Per single-page document, e.g. passport, ID card, birth record, driving licence, criminal record, marriage certificate.
Per document, e.g. diploma, one-page transcript, student certificate, certificate, equivalence certificate. Long transcripts are quoted in writing.
Up to 5 standard documents (e.g. passport, ID, income document, bank statement, invitation). Four standard documents: 3.400 ₺ — you pay the lower amount. For additional documents, multi-page documents or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price.
Up to 10 documents for a study-abroad application (e.g. diploma, one-page transcript, equivalence certificate, certificates, language certificate). For additional documents, multi-page documents (including multi-page transcripts) or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price. If the per-document total is lower, you pay that.
Currency amounts are rounded estimates based on the TRY tariff. Your final quote is confirmed after document review. Foreign-currency figures are calculated from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye buying rate of 9 October 2026 (NZD: ECB cross rate) and rounded up to .99.
- Documents longer than one page, multi-page transcripts, court decisions (including divorce decrees): written quote after review.
- Notarisation or apostille, only if your authority asks for it: notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs depend on the document and official fees and are listed separately in your written quote.
- Paper documents by courier: actual courier cost, paid by the recipient.
One Turkish lira price basis, wherever you order from. The same sworn translation has the same price whether you order from the US or from Türkiye; I do not set a separate base price by country. Prices are based on my Turkish lira tariff. Foreign-currency figures are approximate, rounded indications. The final payable amount and any transfer charges are confirmed in your quote.
Packages: For eligible documents, the sum of the per-document prices is compared with the applicable package price; you pay the lower amount. For example, four standard documents are 3.400 ₺ (≈ $69.99). The visa package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ $71.99) and covers up to five standard documents; for additional documents, multi-page documents or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price.
USCIS translations: 10% discount
- Rate: 10% off the eligible translation fee only.
- Threshold: in a single order, the pre-discount fee of a stand-alone translation quote eligible for this offer must be 10.000 ₺ (ten thousand Turkish lira) or more. Pre-package list prices of documents covered by a package are not added up to reach this amount.
- Scope: eligible translations of documents for a USCIS (United States) application, wherever you apply from. Whether a document qualifies is stated in your written quote after I review it.
- Excluded: notary, apostille, shipping and other third-party costs are not discounted.
- Combining: cannot be combined with other offers or with package prices. If an order qualifies for both a package and this offer, the two total translation fees for the same scope are compared and I quote the lower one.
- Validity: no end date has been set; the offer applies from its publication for as long as the terms stated here remain in force.
- Example: an eligible translation fee of 12.000 ₺ gets a 1.200 ₺ discount, so the translation fee is 10.800 ₺; any notary or apostille costs are added separately.
Orders below 10.000 ₺ are still accepted at the standard tariff; this amount is only the condition for this offer, not a minimum order. The 850 ₺ and 1.150 ₺ tariffs and the visa and student packages are unchanged. The discount does not mean USCIS will accept a translation; their own translation requirements still apply.
- Can I order at the Turkish lira price from the US? Yes. Your quote uses the same Turkish lira tariff as for clients in Türkiye; the USD figures are only a guide.
- Is the USD amount a separate international price? No. It is the Turkish lira price converted at a recent official exchange rate and rounded up to .99.
- Which currency do I pay in? Your written quote states the exact amount, the currency to send and the payment details; bank and Western Union charges are not included.
- Are notarisation, apostille and delivery included? No. They are added only when your procedure needs them, and listed separately in your quote.
Foreign-currency figures are calculated from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye buying rate of 9 October 2026 (NZD: ECB cross rate) and rounded up to .99.
Includes my signed translator's declaration. Standard single-page documents: certified PDF by email, within 24 hours. Court decisions and long documents: price and turnaround after review. Physical copy available on request (international shipping extra). Written quote before payment.

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.
- Send your document. A photo or PDF by WhatsApp, and tell me where it will be used.
- I review it. The document, its language pair, the purpose and the service you need — including any notarisation, apostille, signed paper copy or international delivery that the receiving authority asks for.
- You receive a written quote. Translation, any required certification, delivery and turnaround, before you pay.
- I prepare your translation. No upfront payment is required for the translation.
- 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.
- 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.
Send Your Document on WhatsApp ↗Ask a sworn translator about your document before paying.
Ordering from the United States
Everything is done online from Türkiye; you do not need to visit an office. Send a scan or clear photo of each document by email or WhatsApp and say what the translation is for (for example USCIS, the National Visa Center or a university). If you have several documents — birth, marriage and divorce records, a family registry extract, a diploma or a criminal record — send them together and you get one written quote.
I email you the certified PDF. A signed paper copy is sent by international courier only on request, and the recipient pays the courier fee.
Payment is by credit/debit card, by international bank transfer to my IBAN (fees and timing depend on the sending bank) or by Western Union if bank-account delivery is available from your location; payment is confirmed once the funds reach my account. Credit/debit cards, bank transfers and Western Union are accepted. PayPal and Wise are not currently supported.

Send your documents for a quote ↗USCIS or consular processing?
A petition or application filed with USCIS (for example I-130, I-485 or N-400) follows the USCIS translation rule in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). An immigrant visa processed abroad goes through the National Visa Center and a U.S. embassy or consulate, under U.S. Department of State instructions. These are different steps with their own document lists.
For consular processing, check the Department of State civil-document instructions for Türkiye to see which Turkish records are expected. I translate the documents you choose; I do not give immigration advice.
Why a Turkish sworn translator
Turkish civil documents contain abbreviations, field names, and registry formats that only a translator who works daily with these documents can handle correctly. Fields like TC kimlik no, nüfus cüzdanı seri no, mahalle/köy, cilt/aile sıra no, and Osmanlı-era place names are frequently mistranslated by general translators.
I am Uğur Arı, a sworn translator (yeminli mütercim) whose oath is recorded at the Kartal 12th (Istanbul) and Gebze 19th Notary Offices. The USCIS translation rule does not ask for a specific license or certification — only the translator's certification of accuracy and competency, which every certified PDF includes.
