Assurance in Official Documents: How Does the Notary Translation Process Work?

Official documents such as passports, diplomas, powers of attorney, or company contracts play a critical role in important moments of our lives or in our business activities. When these documents need to have legal validity in another language, a simple translation is not enough; complete "assurance" is required. The mechanism that provides this assurance is the notary translation process. So, how exactly does this process work, and what layer of assurance does it add to your document? Step-by-Step Assurance: The Notary Translation Process

The notary translation process is a multi-layered structure that secures the accuracy and legal validity of your document. A professional agency like Tercümentral meticulously manages this process for you from start to finish.

• Step 1: Entrusting the Document to Experts The process begins when you hand over your document to Tercümentral. The content of your document (legal, medical, technical, etc.) is analyzed, and it is assigned only to a sworn translator who specializes in that field. This first step provides assurance of expertise.
• Step 2: Meticulous Translation and Quality Control The sworn translator translates your document, remaining completely faithful to the original. However, the process doesn't end here. The translated text is checked (edited) by a second expert editor for terminology, grammar, and semantic integrity. This step forms the layer of assurance of accuracy.
• Step 3: Sworn Translator's Certification The quality-checked translation is signed and stamped by the sworn translator. With this signature, the translator declares, "I hereby declare and certify that this translation is accurate and true to the original."
• Step 4: Legal Assurance through Notary Certification In the final stage, the document certified by the sworn translator is presented to the notary where the translator is registered. The notary does not certify the content of the translation, but rather the signature and authority of the sworn translator who performed it. This certification gives the document legal assurance within Turkey and makes it valid before official authorities.
