Turkish document translation for Australian applications
Uğur Arı — sworn translator, Kartal 12th Notary Office · Updated October 10, 2026
Turkish–English translations prepared in Türkiye for Australian visa and immigration applications, starting from AUD 30. For visa and citizenship applications, the Department of Home Affairs asks for an English translation of every document that is not in English and says: “Translators outside Australia do not have to be NAATI accredited.” Each of our translations includes what Home Affairs asks for: the translator’s full name, address and telephone number, and his qualifications and experience in the language, all in English. A standard single-page document is 30 AUD and an academic or official document 40 AUD.
How much does Turkish to English translation cost for Australia?
| Document or package | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard single-page document, e.g. birth record, criminal record, residence record, passport data page, ID card, driving licence | 30 AUD |
| Academic or official document, e.g. diploma, transcript, marriage certificate, certificate, equivalence certificate | 40 AUD |
| Visa or immigration package — up to 5 documents (e.g. passport, ID, birth record, marriage certificate, police certificate, bank statement) | 135 AUD |

Prices are per document or package, by document class; you are not charged per word or character. The packages cover documents of the two classes above. Court decisions such as a divorce decree, and long, densely written, handwritten or multi-page documents, are not part of a package and are quoted after we see them. Send several documents together and you get one written quote before you pay.
Each price includes the English translation, a statement that it is a true and accurate translation, the translator’s full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and experience in English, the date, signature and stamp, and PDF delivery.
Prices reflect the translation service and documentation prepared for the stated application context. Additional notarisation, affidavits, apostilles or delivery are quoted separately when required.
What Home Affairs asks for
Home Affairs’ document guidance, its citizenship page and the partner visa (subclass 820) page use essentially the same rule:
- Provide the original document and the English translation.
- “In Australia, use a translator accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). Translators outside Australia do not have to be NAATI accredited.”
- For every translation, include the translator’s full name, address and telephone number, and qualifications and experience in the language they are translating — all in English.
The Australian Embassy in Türkiye adds for visa applications: “the translation does not have to be certified, however it does need to be accurate.” The Home Affairs pages cited above do not mention notarisation or an apostille for translations.
What our translation includes
- A complete English translation of the Turkish document, including stamps and notes.
- A statement that it is a true and accurate translation of the original document, with the date.
- The translator’s full name, address and telephone number, and his qualifications and experience: sworn translator, oath recorded at the Kartal 12th Notary Office in Istanbul; bachelor’s degree in translation and interpreting; 15 years of translation experience.
- Signature and stamp; a PDF for upload to ImmiAccount (scan your original in colour, as Home Affairs asks).
Notarisation in Türkiye is added only if you or the receiving body ask for it.

Not for Home Affairs visa and citizenship applications: Home Affairs says “Translators outside Australia do not have to be NAATI accredited.” Translations made in Australia need a NAATI-accredited translator, and other bodies such as Transport for NSW, Ahpra and some universities have their own rules.
Can a sworn translator in Turkey prepare a translation for Home Affairs?
Yes. Home Affairs’ published rule allows a translator outside Australia without NAATI accreditation, provided the translation includes the translator’s full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and experience in English. Our translations include these. Home Affairs decides acceptance.

Home Affairs asks for the translator’s full name, address and telephone number, and their qualifications and experience in the language, all in English. Our translations carry these, with a statement of accuracy, the date, signature and stamp.
Is notarisation included?
No. The Home Affairs pages cited here do not ask for notarisation of translations. If you or the receiving body ask for notarisation in Türkiye, the notary fee is quoted separately before you pay.

Yes. Send them together for one written quote. The visa or immigration package covers up to 5 documents for 135 AUD and the student or academic package up to 10 documents for 250 AUD; court decisions and long documents are quoted separately.
How do I order from Australia?
