Written translation of court and legal documents

Written translation of Turkish court and legal documents into English and French, and of foreign judgments and deeds into Turkish.

What crosses the border

Three families of documents

  • Court documents

    Petitions, minutes, expert reports, judgments and finality annotations: what each part of the document says and how it is translated.

    All court documents
  • Cross-border matters

    Service abroad, letters of request, recognition and enforcement: which language the other authority requires and who certifies the translation.

    All cross-border matters
  • Notarial and legal acts

    Powers of attorney, consents, notices and notarial deeds: the wording that must survive translation.

    All notarial and legal acts

What we do

Translation services

All translation services

When a court judgment, a statement of claim or a power of attorney crosses a border, the receiving authority looks at specific things in the translation: which parts were translated, how stamps and annotations were rendered, who signed the translation and which certification was added. Acte Tercüme translates these documents between Turkish, English and French.

Each page deals with one document or one cross-border route: it sets out the parts of the document, what happens to each part in translation and, where there is one, the legal basis with its article number. The pages do not give legal advice; the case or the transaction itself is a matter for a lawyer.
