English translations of Turkish court, civil registry and notary documents, and Australian documents translated into Turkish.
Turkish family matters are heard by Family Courts (Aile Mahkemesi), or by a Civil Court of First Instance (Asliye Hukuk Mahkemesi) acting as a family court where none exists. Appeals go to the regional courts of appeal and the Court of Cassation (Yargıtay). Population records are kept by the civil registry, Nüfus Müdürlüğü.
A Turkish judgment typically records the parties, their lawyers, the claim, the court's reasoning and then the operative part (hüküm), followed by a finality annotation stamped on later. Whether you have the annotated copy matters to some readers, so the translation shows clearly whether a kesinleşme şerhi is present. We do not explain its effect.
Turkish letters such as ı, İ, ğ, ş and ç change how a name is pronounced and spelled, and they are often dropped in English records. Names are reproduced with their Turkish characters as they appear on the document. A detailed civil registry extract lists births, marriages, divorces and deaths for a whole family register, and is laid out in a wide table that we keep intact. The Turkish identity number (T.C. Kimlik No) is reproduced as printed.
Documents from Northern Cyprus follow a separate system and are translated according to their own headings.
We translate Australian documents into Turkish: divorce orders for recognition proceedings in Turkey, powers of attorney for property, statutory declarations, police checks and company documents. Turkish courts and notaries usually want an apostille as well, so check with them first.
Many Turkish court and registry documents are now printed from the e-Devlet and UYAP government systems and carry a barcode and verification code instead of a wet stamp. Upload them as the original PDF where possible. If your judgment has its finality annotation on a separate page, include that page too.
We translate what your documents say. We do not advise on their legal effect, and we cannot confirm whether a particular court or agency will accept them. Please check requirements with the receiving body or your lawyer.
Yes. The kesinleşme şerhi and any other stamps or notes are translated where they appear on the page.
Yes. Upload the divorce order or certificate. Check with your lawyer in Turkey which documents they want and whether an apostille is needed.
