Sworn Translation
Your document is translated by a sworn translator and notarised.
Receive It
Collect your certified translation in person or digitally.
What exactly do you receive?
What I hand over is not a plain text translation but a document in the form the authority expects: stamped and certified. The drawing below shows the structure — it is not a client's document.
- The document's layout is preserved exactly — every block sits where it sits in the original.
- Stamps, registry endorsements, correction notes and reverse-side records are all included.
- It is delivered with the sworn translator's stamp and signature.
- Where the authority requires it, notarial certification is added.
- If the document carries an apostille, that too is included as an inseparable part of the translation.
The drawing in this section is entirely illustrative: it contains no client document, no real name and no real number. The documents I translate are never shared with third parties.
Who translates your documents?
I'm Nazım Şafak, a sworn translator registered with the Alanya 5th Notary, working between Russian, Ukrainian, English and Turkish. I take personal responsibility for every document that carries my signature: the translation mirrors the original's layout exactly — stamps, endorsements and reverse-side notes included.
When your document reaches me, I first check the details officials actually look for: does the name spelling match your passport, is the apostille in place, does the court decision carry its finality endorsement. If I spot a problem, I tell you before translation starts — so you don't spend money for nothing.

The problems that come up most
Documents are usually rejected not because of the translation but because of these details. I check them before translating and tell you upfront if something is wrong.
The name does not match the passport
Moving from Cyrillic to Latin script, the same name can be written several ways. If the spelling on the document differs from your passport, the authority may not accept it as yours.
The apostille is missing
Most documents issued abroad require an apostille. It is an inseparable part of the document and is included in the translation; obtaining it afterwards costs time.
The court decision has no finality endorsement
Divorce, custody and similar decisions need an endorsement showing the ruling is final. Without it, most authorities will not accept the document.
Diploma without its transcript
A diploma alone is not enough for recognition; the transcript listing courses and grades is required too. Translating both together avoids a second application.
The photo does not show the whole document
Endorsements, correction notes and stamps on the reverse are part of the translation. Photos cropped at the edges or taken without the reverse lead to an incomplete translation.
The document is too old
Some authorities require criminal-record and marital-status certificates to be recent. Let us check the validity requirement together before translating.
Procedure guides
A document list alone is not enough — you need to know which document requires an apostille and which needs only a translation. These guides are based on official sources, and the source is stated plainly at the foot of every page.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between sworn and notarised translation?
A sworn translation is produced and signed by a translator who has taken an oath before a notary. Notarisation is the notary's formal certification of that translation. Official bodies usually require a notarised sworn translation; we provide both from a single point.
Do I need to bring the document?
No. In most cases a clear photo or scan is enough. Send the photo on WhatsApp; we only ask for the original when it is required.
How long does a translation take?
It depends on the document type and length. Most standard documents are delivered the same or next day. We state the exact turnaround when we quote.
Do you help with apostille?
Yes. We assist with translating apostilled documents and guide you through the official process.
How is the price determined?
The price depends on the document type, language pair and length. Once you send the document we give a clear, fixed quote — no surprises.
What is an apostille and when is it required?
An apostille is an international certification that makes a document officially valid in another country; it is issued in the country where the document was drawn up. Turkish authorities require an apostille on most documents issued abroad; it counts as part of the document and is included in the translation. Not sure whether yours needs one? Send a photo and we will check together.
What if the name on my document is spelled differently from my passport?
Moving between Cyrillic and Latin script, the same name can be written several ways. In the translation we spell the name exactly as in your passport — so sending a photo of your passport along with the document speeds things up.
Why is the finality endorsement on court decisions required?
For divorce, custody and similar rulings, authorities require an endorsement showing the decision has become final. Without it, most offices will not process the document. When you send a photo of the ruling, we also check for the endorsement and tell you straight away.
Are you open on Saturdays?
Yes — Saturdays 11:00–15:00. On weekdays I work Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00. You can also write on WhatsApp outside working hours; I reply first thing in the morning.
How do I receive the finished translation?
Whichever way suits you: collect the certified translation in person or receive a scanned copy digitally. We clarify together at the quote stage whether your authority accepts digital copies.
Which languages do you work with?
I translate both ways between Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian and English. For documents in closely related languages such as Kazakh, feel free to write — I will look at the document and give you a clear answer.
My document is from a country not on your list. Can you take it?
Most likely yes. What matters is not the issuing country but the document's language and certification. Send a photo — I will tell you right away whether I can take it and what additional certification it needs.
Are my documents shared with anyone?
No. Your documents are used only for translation and notarisation and are never shared with third parties. Full confidentiality is a ground rule of this work.
