Frequently Asked Questions
How are prices for translation and legalisation calculated?
The price depends on the type and length of the document, the language pair, the certifications required (notary, apostille, consulate, embassy) and the deadline. Instead of a fixed price list we therefore quote every request individually. Just send us a scan of your document.
How long does it take?
Standard document translations are usually delivered quickly. Notarisation, apostilles and especially consular or embassy legalisation take additional time. Our quote states the timeline for your file, and we offer solutions for urgent requests.
Do I need to visit your office?
No. You can send your documents by e-mail or through the contact form. Where originals are needed they are collected by courier, and finished documents are sent to your address. We serve all 81 provinces of Türkiye.
How can I use a foreign document in Türkiye?
The document first needs an apostille in the issuing country (or consular legalisation if that country is not party to the Apostille Convention). It is then translated into Turkish by a sworn translator in Türkiye and notarised if required. Our international network can take care of the steps abroad as well.
Which countries accept an apostille?
All states party to the Hague Apostille Convention. See our country pages for the current status. Non-member countries require consular or embassy legalisation.
