Uğur Arı — sworn translator, Kartal 12th Notary Office · Updated July 24, 2026
A passport is translated into English by a sworn translator and notarized in Turkey. This certified translation is used for banking, residence permits, title deeds, marriage and applications abroad.

For a certified translation of the passport alone, your presence is not needed — a clear photo of the ID page is enough. Deeds signed before a notary (power of attorney, declaration) require your presence in person.
Notary fees are set by the notary office and paid in Turkish lira; they are separate from the translation fee.
