Translation Agency in Antalya: Document Legalization on the Turkish Riviera

Antalya has long ceased to be just a resort for Ukrainians. The districts of Konyaalti, Lara, and neighboring Alanya have become home to thousands of our families. People buy apartments here, send their children to Turkish schools, and open businesses. However, life on the Mediterranean coast has its bureaucratic side.

Obtaining and extending an Ikamet (residence permit) at the Migration Management in Antalya is becoming an increasingly difficult quest. Registering property title (TAPU), registering a marriage, or confirming a child's school certificate (Denklik) requires impeccable documents. Turkish institutions accept exclusively Sworn Translation (Yeminli Tercüme), certified by a notary. "Admiral" Translation Agency is your reliable bridge between Ukraine and Turkey. We prepare documents (including Apostille) that are guaranteed to be accepted in Antalya, Alanya, and Manavgat.

Which Documents We Translate in Antalya

We understand the specifics of the region, where real estate and children's education issues come first.

1. For Ikamet (Göç İdaresi)

Residence permit requirements in Antalya have tightened. To submit your file, you need:

• Translation of birth certificates (for children).

• Translation of marriage certificates (for family residence permits).

• Income statements (pension, work) — mandatory with an Apostille, otherwise they will not be accepted.

2. Real Estate (TAPU Dairesi)

Buying or selling an apartment in Antalya or Alanya is impossible without a translator.

• Translation of international passports for the Land Registry Office.

• Translation of powers of attorney for property management (if the owner is in Ukraine).

• Translation of certificates for inheritance or gifting.

3. Education and School (Denklik)

To enroll a child in a Turkish school, you need to go through the procedure of recognizing the Ukrainian certificate/report card (Denklik).

• We translate student files, report cards, and certificates accepted by the Education Directorate (Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü).

4. Cars and Drivers

• Translation of Ukrainian licenses and vehicle registration documents (for importing a car or obtaining Turkish license plates).

5. Marriage and Registry Office

• Translation of the birth certificate and certificate of marital status (affidavit) for registering a marriage with a Turkish citizen.

Translation Specifics: Notary and Apostille

In Antalya, general Turkish rules apply, which cannot be ignored.

1. Apostille (Apostil) — Step #1 This is the most important thing. A Turkish notary (Noter) in Antalya will not certify the translation of a Ukrainian document (birth/marriage certificate, notarial statement) if it does not have an Apostille stamp. If you are already in Turkey with documents without an Apostille — this is a problem. But we solve it. You send us the originals to Kyiv, we place the Apostille, and return them to you.

2. Sworn Translator (Yeminli Tercüman) The translation must be done only by a specialist who has a license and has taken an oath at a notary. A standard "online" translation without a sworn translator's signature will not be accepted by Göç İdaresi (Migration Management).

3. Notarial Certification (Noter Tasdiki) After translation, the document is taken to a notary. Important: You pay for notary services separately at the notary's cashier in Lira. The price depends on the number of words/pages. We can prepare a translation that any notary in Antalya will accept, or organize the full legalization cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to certify the translation with a notary in Ukraine or Turkey? The Migration Service and TAPU require certification specifically by a Turkish notary. Ukrainian notarization of the translation is often not accepted in Turkey (or requires an additional apostille on the translation itself). The best path: Apostille on the original in Ukraine -> Translation -> Turkish notary.

Do you translate documents for buying an apartment in Alanya? Yes, we regularly translate passports and certificates for transactions in Alanya. We send documents by courier or bus.

What to do if the income statement has no Apostille? For extending a residence permit, they often ask for a pension or income certificate. Without an Apostille, it won't be accepted. We can obtain a duplicate certificate in Ukraine (on your behalf or via Diia), place an Apostille, and send it to you.
