Certified Turkish translation for UK applications

A Turkish marriage certificate translation is £15. Prices are per document or package, by document class and page — you are not charged per word or character. Send several documents together and you get one written quote.

We quote separately for documents that are long, densely written, handwritten, in poor condition or need special formatting, and for priority handling; you always get the price in writing before you pay.

Each price includes the English translation and the sworn translator’s statement of accuracy, signature and stamp. Notarisation, an apostille and courier delivery are priced separately, only if you need them.

GOV.UK’s certification guidance asks the translator to confirm in writing that it is a “true and accurate translation of the original document” and to give the date and their full name and contact details. For financial evidence in a family application, Appendix FM-SE paragraph 1(j) asks for a full, dated translation that can be independently verified, with confirmation of accuracy, the translator’s full name and signature, and contact details.

Our translations carry all of these. The GOV.UK pages linked here do not say that the translator must be based in the UK, so being in Türkiye is not in itself a bar in these rules; UKVI decides whether a document is accepted.

Two cases set extra conditions. For leave to remain and indefinite leave to remain applications made in the UK, paragraph 1(j) also asks for “certification by a qualified translator and details of the translator or translation company’s credentials” (the term is not defined). HMPO’s paper-application guidance asks for a translator who is a member of a recognised professional organisation.

About the translator: Uğur Arı is a sworn translator (yeminli mütercim); his oath is recorded at the Kartal 12th Notary Office in Istanbul. He is not a member of ITI, CIOL, ATC or another professional translators’ organisation. Notarisation in Türkiye is added only if you or the receiving body ask for it.

These are documents people often have translated for UK applications. Not every application needs every document; the GOV.UK guidance for your application and the application system set the list.

Send all your documents together and you get one written quote for the set.

• Formül B — the multilingual Turkish marriage extract explains its standard wording in several languages, including English. The GOV.UK pages linked here do not say whether it is accepted without a translation; if you are unsure, include a certified translation. More on Formül A/B/C.
• Name spelling — Turkish records and a passport can spell the same name differently (ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş, ü; married surname). Send your passport page with the order: if we see different spellings across your documents we tell you before translating, and we do not change what the source document says.

Everything is done online. Send a scan or clear photo of each document by WhatsApp or email and tell us what the translation is for. You get a written quote and turnaround; short documents are usually ready the same day.

• Bank transfer to our IBAN — an international transfer from a UK bank; its fees and timing depend on the sending bank.
• Western Union — where Western Union offers delivery to a bank account from your location; share the transfer reference with us after you send it.
• Cash — in person in Türkiye.
• Card, PayPal and Wise payments are not accepted. Bank and Western Union transfer fees are not included in the prices. Payment is confirmed once the funds reach our account; payment details and any transfer instructions are sent with your quote.

The certified PDF is emailed to you for upload. A signed paper copy is sent by courier only on request; you can choose the courier and the recipient pays the delivery fee.
