Sworn Translation

Sworn Translation Service — 42 Dil Konya

Some official institutions and organizations care not only about the translation itself but also about the level of verification of this translation. Within the framework of Turkish Law, sworn translation is an official guarantee document approved by the notary public that the content of a document in a foreign language is accurately conveyed. As 42 Dil Tercüme, we manage the sworn translation process of your documents from start to finish by working in coordination with the Konya notary public.

In Turkey, there are two basic official mechanisms in the field of translation: The first is sworn translation performed by translators who have taken an oath before a notary public; the second is sworn translation processes involving different levels of notary approval. These two paths often overlap, but can take different forms depending on the requirements of the requesting institution. 42 Dil offers both processes completely and guides its customers on which path is appropriate for their situation.

How Does Sworn Translation Work in Turkey?

Notary Approval Through a Sworn Translator

This is the most common method of sworn translation. A translator who has been sworn in by Turkish notaries approves the translation with their own seal and signature; then, this signature and seal are certified before the notary public. The resulting document carries both the translator's expertise guarantee and the notary public's approval. This is the method used for the vast majority of standard documents such as passports, diplomas, and contracts.

Signature Tasdiki (Notarization of Signature)

In some cases, the notary public verifies the identity of a non-sworn translator by verifying their signature, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the translation. This method may be accepted in the consular requirements of some countries or in private law transactions. 42 Dil analyzes which verification method is required and provides the most accurate guidance to its customers.

Translation with Copy Certification

Translation of a notary-approved copy of the original document and submission of both documents together can also be considered within the scope of sworn translation. Copy translation is especially performed in cases where the original document must remain in the institution or for multiple uses.
