Certified Translation, Apostille & Notary Services in Istanbul

How we work in Istanbul

Send us your documents by e-mail or via the form and we will quote a price and timeline. Once you confirm, we handle certified translation, notarisation and, if needed, the apostille or consular legalisation as one file.

Apostilles for administrative documents are issued by the Governorship of Istanbul or the relevant district governorship, and for judicial documents by the justice commission. For countries outside the Apostille Convention we also handle Ministry of Foreign Affairs and consular legalisation.

Finished documents are sent by courier to your address in Istanbul, with digital copies by e-mail. We can also schedule on-site interpreters across Istanbul for notaries, the land registry, weddings or court hearings.

Typical needs in Istanbul

As one of Türkiye's largest cities, Istanbul generates a wide range of translation and legalisation needs – from individual applications to bulk document work for multinational companies. We manage files of every size.

Many countries maintain consulates in Istanbul. For documents that need consular legalisation we complete the prior certifications and follow up the application on your behalf.

For companies in Istanbul we translate trade registry gazettes, signature circulars, certificates of activity, powers of attorney and contracts, and handle the apostille and consular steps for foreign tenders and branch set-ups.

For foreign residents in Istanbul we translate and legalise the documents needed for residence permits, marriage, citizenship, driving-licence conversion and school enrolment.
