Upload the document, choose the language direction and name the office that will receive it. The destination field is required: it is the only way we can tell you about an acceptance risk in the first reply rather than after you have paid.

A quotation needs three things from you: an image of the document, the language direction, and the name of the authority that will receive it. The third one is required, and it is the one people are most tempted to leave blank.
Why the destination field is required
Everything that matters about a francophone file is decided by the receiving office, not by the document. Whether the translation may be produced in Türkiye at all, whether it must be in French or may be in English, whether the apostille comes first or last — all of that changes with the destination.
If we do not know where the document is going, we can quote a price but not the sequence — and the sequence decides whether the file goes through in one round. Naming the office lets us set out the applicable condition in the first reply, before any money moves. The rules behind those notes are on the Québec translation rules page and in the francophone countries comparison.
What to send
- The document itself, photographed or scanned in full — all pages, edges visible, and the back of the sheet if anything is printed or stamped there.
- The language direction: Turkish to French, Turkish to English, or the reverse.
- The destination: the province, canton or country, and the name of the office or programme if you have it.
- Your deadline, if there is one, and whether you need wet-signed originals posted abroad.
Legibility genuinely affects both price and outcome; if a scan is dim or cropped, that is worth fixing before you send it. How to scan your documents covers the details, including why seals and marginal notes must be visible.
What you get back
An itemised written answer, not a single figure. It sets out the page count and language direction, the translation fee, any notary item, any apostille item, dispatch where relevant, and a delivery date rather than a vague number of days. Where an acceptance risk exists, it is stated at the top of the reply and not buried in a footnote. How each of those lines is built is explained on the fees page.
If the answer comes with a condition
Sometimes the reply is that the receiving authority asks for a translator on its own register — a Québec professional order, the Belgian national register, a Swiss cantonal list. Practice differs between offices, so we say plainly which condition applies to yours and what it changes about the order of steps. The quotation then sets out each item on its own line: obtaining the documents in Türkiye, notarisation where it is needed here, the apostille step, the translation where the procedure accepts one prepared here, and dispatch of wet-signed copies.
How your document is handled
What people upload here is sensitive: criminal record certificates, medical reports, divorce judgments, bank statements. Access is limited to the people working on the job, and uploaded documents are never put through public machine-translation websites. Files are kept for the period set out in our published policy and then destroyed. How your documents are handled describes the working rules.
Before you pay
Asking for a quotation does not commit you to anything. Work begins only after you approve the quotation in writing. The pre-contract information form, the distance service contract and the withdrawal terms are presented before payment; those texts are published in Turkish, and Turkish law governs the contract. We will explain any clause in English if you ask — the contact page lists where each text sits and how to reach us.
Order of steps
-
Photograph or scan the whole document
Every page, in colour, flat, with the edges in frame. Include the reverse side if it carries a stamp, a signature or a marginal note. A cropped scan is the most common reason a file is later called incomplete.
-
Name the office that will receive it
Province, canton or country, plus the programme or office name if you know it. This field decides whether we can do the translation at all, so leaving it blank delays the answer rather than speeding it up.
-
Say what you need back and by when
Digital copy, wet-signed originals, or both; whether an apostille is required; and the date the receiving office expects the file. Deadlines change the order in which short-lived documents are obtained.
-
Read the itemised reply before approving
Check the page count, the language direction, which lines are third-party items and any acceptance warning at the top. Work starts only once you approve it in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Write what you do know — the country and the type of procedure. We will tell you which possibilities change the answer and what to confirm. Ordering a translation before the destination is settled is how documents get paid for twice.
No. An image is enough to price the work. Originals only become relevant later, and only for steps that require them, such as notarisation or an apostille on a wet-signed copy.
Translation is usually the shortest part. Obtaining a document from a registry, the notary appointment and the apostille step run on the institutions’ timetables, and those are what set the real date. We put an expected date on the quotation rather than a number of working days.
Cancellation and withdrawal are governed by the Turkish consumer legislation and set out in the contract texts presented before payment. Once work has started at your express request, different rules apply to the part already performed. Ask us and we will explain the clause that applies to your order.
