Do I need to visit an office in Kocaeli?
No. Send your documents by e-mail or via the form; where originals are needed they are collected from your address in Kocaeli by courier and returned the same way.
What is the difference between a certified and a notarised translation?
In a certified translation the sworn translator confirms the translation with their stamp and signature. In a notarised translation a Turkish notary additionally certifies the translator's signature and sworn status. The receiving authority decides which one is needed; ask us if you are unsure.

Yes. A legible scan or photo is usually enough for the quote and the translation. Where the original is required (for example for an apostille) we will explain the courier and hand-over options.
