Frequently Asked Questions
Does my Turkish ID card need translation if it has some English?
Yes. UKVI requires complete translation of Turkish identity cards (both sides). All Turkish text must be translated.
Do I need to translate my Aile Cüzdanı (family booklet)?
For spouse/family applications and cases involving children, Aile Cüzdanı is often essential evidence of family relationships and marital status.
Are translations from Turkey accepted, or must translation be done in the UK?
UKVI typically requires translation to be produced in the UK by a qualified translator/company. Translations done in Turkey are often not accepted for UKVI, even if notarised or apostilled.
Do Turkish documents need apostille before UK use?
Usually yes. Turkey is a member of the Apostille Convention. The apostilled document is then translated in the UK.
How do you handle Turkish characters (ç, ğ, ş, etc.)?
We preserve Turkish characters accurately and ensure consistent spellings across documents, matching existing English records where possible.
How long does Turkish to English translation take?
Standard service is typically 2–3 working days. Simple civil documents can be expedited to same-day or next-day if required.
Do you translate old Ottoman Turkish documents?
We specialise in modern Turkish (post-1928 Latin alphabet). For Ottoman Turkish (pre-1928), we may assist via specialist partners on request.
Can you translate Turkish legal contracts?
Yes. We translate contracts, court judgements, powers of attorney, and property deeds with accurate legal terminology.
