Officially recognised translation for official documents

When a document needs to be accepted by an official body — a government office, an employer, an educational institution, a court — accuracy and correct certification matter as much as the translation itself. I provide certified English to Turkish translations of personal documents and certificates, including birth and marriage certificates, academic transcripts, immigration papers, and business certifications.

As a Chartered Linguist (CIOL), a qualified member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), and an ISO 17100:2015 Qualified Translator, I work to the recognised international standard for professional translation services, so your certified documents are accurate, properly formatted, and fit for official use.

What’s included

  • Birth, marriage and other civil certificates
  • Academic transcripts and qualifications
  • Immigration and visa-related documents
  • Business certifications and official company documents
  • Certification and formatting to meet the requirements of the receiving organisation

Recent examples of my work

  • Acting as a witness in Scottish High Court proceedings to confirm the accuracy of a translation I had prepared and submitted as evidence
  • UK Border Agency – translation of the UK visa information website for Turkey
  • Ongoing certified translation of personal documents, certificates and immigration papers for private individuals and businesses (project details available on request, as much of this work is confidential)

Why work with me

Certified translation isn’t just about producing accurate Turkish — it’s about producing a document that will be accepted by the organisation requesting it, formatted and certified correctly the first time. With a Diploma in Translation (DipTransIoLET), professional body membership with the CIOL and ITI, ISO 17100:2015 qualification, and direct court experience defending the accuracy of a translation under oath, I bring both the formal credentials and the practical track record that certified work requires.
