Precise translation ensures recognition with German authorities
A certified Turkish-German translation is more than just converting texts into another language. It is an official act where a sworn translator confirms the accuracy and completeness of the translation. This is particularly important when you need to submit documents to German authorities, courts, or notaries. If these certifications are missing, it may lead to rejections or delays.
The difference between a certified and a notarised translation lies in the type of certification. While a certified translation is produced by a court-appointed translator, a notarised translation can be confirmed by third parties, such as notaries or law firms. However, for official purposes in Germany, a certified translation by a sworn translator is usually required. You can find more information about the costs of a certified translation on our website.
We understand the importance of a correct and recognised translation. Therefore, we work exclusively with qualified and experienced translators who have the necessary expertise and language skills to translate your documents accurately and reliably. This ensures your documents meet the requirements and are accepted without issue.
In 4 steps to the legally compliant translation of your documents
The process of a certified Turkish-German translation involves several steps to ensure the highest quality and legal certainty. First, you request a free quote by submitting your documents for review. We analyze your materials and provide you with a transparent quote that includes all costs and services.
Upon your approval, the translation is assigned to a specialized translator with expertise in the relevant field. We adhere to the native speaker principle, meaning the translator translates into their native language to ensure the best possible linguistic quality. This is followed by quality assurance from a second translator who checks the translation for accuracy and completeness. Finally, the sworn translator signs and stamps the translation, completing the certification. For use abroad, an apostille or legalisation may also be required, which we can also provide.
We offer digital and/or physical delivery of your certified translation, according to your needs. This way, you receive your documents quickly and easily in the desired format. Visit our page about certificate translations to learn more about the specific requirements for different types of documents.
Swearing-In and Expertise: How to Choose the Right Translator
When choosing a translator for your certified Turkish-German translation, you should pay attention to certain qualifications and certifications. The translator must be appointed and sworn by a German regional court, higher regional court, or an interior authority. This guarantees that they possess the necessary competence and reliability to translate official documents.
In addition to being sworn in, expertise and experience in relevant fields are also important. Depending on the type of document (e.g., legal, financial, educational), the translator should have relevant expertise. Experience with different types of documents is also beneficial to ensure an accurate and correct translation. The sworn Turkish translators from Dialecta, for instance, provide certified translations that meet the requirements of job centres and the BAMF.
Moreover, linguistic and cultural competence plays a crucial role. The translator should be a native speaker of the target language to consider the fine nuances and peculiarities of the language. Knowledge of the linguistic specifics of Turkish, such as the agglutinative structure and the historical language reform, is also important to avoid mistranslations. The linguistic characteristics of Turkish require careful analysis of affixes and the avoidance of "false friends".
Cost and Duration: Plan your budget and timeline
The cost of a certified Turkish-German translation can vary depending on several factors. These include text length, complexity, layout intricacy, and language combination. An express service for urgent translations may also incur additional charges. It is therefore advisable to obtain a quote in advance to know the exact costs.
For example, AMT Translations quotes a driving licence translation for approximately €30.00 plus VAT and shipping, whereas Alphatrad indicates a minimum price of €60 plus VAT. Linguamon.de charges from about €1 per line (55 characters) plus VAT. The processing time usually amounts to at least 4-5 working days, but it can be shortened with an express service. It's important to keep these factors in mind when planning your budget and timeline. For a detailed breakdown of the costs of a certified translation of your birth certificate, please visit our dedicated page.
To optimise costs, it's advisable to scan documents in good quality and provide the translation office with all relevant information such as the intended use and any deadlines. This way, you can ensure you receive a fair offer and the translation is delivered on time.
From birth certificate to court ruling: Typical areas of application
Certified Translations Turkish-German are required in a wide range of areas, particularly when submitting documents to authorities and courts. The most common applications include official documents such as civil status certificates (birth certificates, marriage certificates) and educational qualifications (diplomas, school reports, A-level certificates).
In the legal field as well, certified translations are essential, for example, for court judgments, indictments, and divorce decrees. These documents must be translated not only linguistically correctly but also legally accurately to ensure their validity. AMT Translations offers translations for court judgments (Gerichtsurteil), indictments (Anklageschrift), and divorce decrees (Boşanma kararı).
Furthermore, certified translations may also be required for other purposes, such as immigration, studying abroad, or recognition of professional qualifications. In all these cases, it is important that the translations are done by a sworn translator to guarantee their validity and acceptance.
Interpreting, Apostille, Confidentiality: Additional services for your needs
In addition to pure translation, we also offer a range of additional services to fully meet your needs. These include interpretation services for various occasions, such as court interpreting, interpreting for authorities (Jobcentre, BAMF), or conference interpreting (simultaneous and consecutive). Zehra Kübel offers both translation and interpretation services, including simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.
For the use of your documents abroad, an apostille or legalization may be required. We are happy to assist you in applying for these documents to ensure that your translations are recognized internationally. Furthermore, we place great emphasis on discretion and confidentiality. Your documents are handled with the utmost care, and all information is treated as strictly confidential. Data protection is our top priority.
To provide you with the best possible service, we work with a comprehensive network of certified translators and proofreaders who operate in various fields.

Preparing documents, specifying deadlines: How to successfully commission
To ensure the process of certified translation Turkish-German is as smooth as possible, there are a few tips to keep in mind when hiring. Firstly, it's important to prepare the documents carefully. Scan the documents in high quality and ensure that all pages are complete and legible. When making a request, specify the purpose of the translation (e.g., studying abroad, naturalization) and mention any deadlines.
Communication with the translation agency is also crucial. Provide clear instructions and ask questions to ensure all your requirements are met. If you require a translator from a specific federal state, please specify. JK Translate emphasizes the importance of a "beeidigter Übersetzer Türkisch" (sworn Turkish translator) for official documents.
By following these tips, you can ensure that you receive a high-quality and legally secure translation that meets your needs. We at Mentoc are happy to offer advice and support in commissioning a certified translation.
