Uğur Arı is a yeminli mütercim registered with the Kartal 12th Notary Office in Istanbul. Certified PDF by email within 24–48 hours. From $24.90 per page.

Why a Turkish sworn translator
A Turkish sworn translator (yeminli mütercim) has taken a formal oath before a Turkish notary public and is entered in the notary's official register. This is the highest translation credential in Turkey, recognised under Turkish law and by international institutions including EU member state embassies.
Every translation from this office includes the sworn translator's name, notary registration number, declaration of accuracy, and signature. For Turkish official documents — which use specific registry codes, government abbreviations, and format conventions — a translator working in Turkey reads the source correctly, without guesswork.
Pakistani credential evaluation bodies such as HEC (Higher Education Commission) and international bodies such as UK ENIC accept certified translations when accompanied by the translator's declaration.
