Turkish document translation for Australian applications
Uğur Arı — sworn translator, Kartal 12th and Gebze 19th Notary Offices · Updated October 27, 2026
Turkish–English translations prepared in Türkiye for Australian visa and immigration applications, starting from 850 ₺ (≈ 24.99 AUD). For visa and citizenship applications, the Department of Home Affairs asks for an English translation of every document that is not in English and says: “Translators outside Australia do not have to be NAATI accredited.” Each of my translations includes what Home Affairs asks for: my full name, address and telephone number, and my qualifications and experience in the language, all in English. A standard single-page document is 850 ₺ (≈ 24.99 AUD) and an academic document from 1.150 ₺ (≈ 33.99 AUD).

How much does Turkish to English translation cost for Australia?
Per single-page document, e.g. passport, ID card, birth record, driving licence, criminal record, marriage certificate.
Per document, e.g. diploma, one-page transcript, student certificate, certificate, equivalence certificate. Long transcripts are quoted in writing.
Up to 5 standard documents (e.g. passport, ID, income document, bank statement, invitation). Four standard documents: 3.400 ₺ — you pay the lower amount. For additional documents, multi-page documents or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price.
Up to 10 documents for a study-abroad application (e.g. diploma, one-page transcript, equivalence certificate, certificates, language certificate). For additional documents, multi-page documents (including multi-page transcripts) or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price. If the per-document total is lower, you pay that.
Currency amounts are rounded estimates based on the TRY tariff. Your final quote is confirmed after document review. Foreign-currency figures are calculated from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye buying rate of 9 October 2026 (NZD: ECB cross rate) and rounded up to .99.
- Long or dense documents, multi-page transcripts, court decisions (including divorce decrees): written quote after review.
- Notarisation or apostille, only if your authority asks for it: notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs depend on the document and official fees and are listed separately in your written quote.
- Paper documents by courier: actual courier cost, paid by the recipient.
One Turkish lira price basis, wherever you order from. The same sworn translation has the same price whether you order from Australia or from Türkiye; I do not set a separate base price by country. Prices are based on my Turkish lira tariff. Foreign-currency figures are approximate, rounded indications. The final payable amount and any transfer charges are confirmed in your quote.
Packages: For eligible documents, the sum of the per-document prices is compared with the applicable package price; you pay the lower amount. For example, four standard documents are 3.400 ₺ (≈ 99.99 AUD). The visa package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ 102.99 AUD) and covers up to five standard documents; for additional documents, multi-page documents or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price.
- Can I order at the Turkish lira price from Australia? Yes. Your quote uses the same Turkish lira tariff as for clients in Türkiye; the AUD figures are only a guide.
- Is the AUD amount a separate international price? No. It is the Turkish lira price converted at a recent official exchange rate and rounded up to .99.
- Which currency do I pay in? Your written quote states the exact amount, the currency to send and the payment details; bank and Western Union charges are not included.
- Are notarisation, apostille and delivery included? No. They are added only when your procedure needs them, and listed separately in your quote.
Foreign-currency figures are calculated from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye buying rate of 9 October 2026 (NZD: ECB cross rate) and rounded up to .99.
Prices are per document or package, by document class; you are not charged per word or character. The packages cover documents of the two classes above. Court decisions such as a divorce decree, and long, densely written, handwritten or multi-page documents, are not part of a package and are quoted after I see them. Send several documents together and you get one written quote before you pay.
Each price includes the English translation, my statement that it is a true and accurate translation, my full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and experience in English, the date, my signature and stamp, and PDF delivery.
Each price covers the translation and the documentation I prepare for the application you tell me about. Notarisation, affidavits, apostilles or delivery are quoted separately when you need them.
What Home Affairs asks for
- Certified PDF. I sign and stamp it as a sworn translator and send it by email or WhatsApp; short standard documents within 24 hours.
- Signed paper copy. Sent by courier on request; the courier cost is paid by the recipient.
- Notarisation or apostille. Only if your receiving authority asks for it; notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs depend on the document and official fees and are listed separately in your written quote.
Home Affairs’ document guidance, its citizenship page and the partner visa (subclass 820) page use essentially the same rule:
- Provide the original document and the English translation.
- “In Australia, use a translator accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). Translators outside Australia do not have to be NAATI accredited.”
- For every translation, include the translator’s full name, address and telephone number, and qualifications and experience in the language they are translating — all in English.
The Australian Embassy in Türkiye adds for visa applications: “the translation does not have to be certified, however it does need to be accurate.” The Home Affairs pages cited above do not mention notarisation or an apostille for translations.
Send Your Document First. Pay After Reviewing Your Quote.
Certified translation requirements can vary by document and receiving authority. Send your document via WhatsApp, talk to me directly, and get a written quote covering the translation, any required certification and delivery options before making payment.
- Send your document. A photo or PDF by WhatsApp, and tell me where it will be used.
- I review it. The document, its language pair, the purpose and the service you need — including whether notarisation, an apostille, a signed paper copy or international delivery is needed.
- You receive a written quote. Translation, any required certification, delivery and turnaround, before you pay.
- I prepare your translation. No upfront payment is required for the translation.
- You see it first. Once your translation is completed, I share a watermarked preview showing a suitable part of the document. The preview does not expose unnecessary personal data and does not replace the signed and stamped official document.
- Then you pay. After your payment is confirmed, I deliver the final, watermark-free translation with the translator’s statement, signature and stamp in the agreed format.
See that your translation is ready before you pay. No upfront payment is required, either to request a quote or for the translation. I cannot guarantee that a foreign authority will accept a document; where its requirements are unclear, I tell you to confirm them with the receiving authority before you pay.
I accept credit and debit cards. After you accept the written quote, you can pay by card, by bank transfer to my IBAN, or by Western Union where delivery to a bank account is available from your location; cash is possible in person in Türkiye. Card payments are made through a secure payment link in US dollars (USD); card charges, if any, are stated in your quote.

Other bodies with their own translator rules
Some bodies set their own translator rules; for these, use a NAATI or approved translator:
- Translations made in Australia for Home Affairs.
- Driver licence transfers in NSW: Transport for NSW accepts translations only from Multicultural NSW, the Department of Home Affairs and two named consular offices.
- Health practitioner registration: Ahpra asks for a translator who belongs to an organisation approved in the country where the translation is made.
- Universities and courts set their own rules; for example, some universities ask for a NAATI “Professional Translator”.
How much does Turkish to English translation cost for Australia?
A standard single-page document such as a birth record, police certificate or marriage certificate is 850 ₺ (≈ 24.99 AUD); an academic document such as a diploma or single-page transcript is from 1.150 ₺ (≈ 33.99 AUD). The visa package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ 102.99 AUD) for up to 5 standard documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review), and the student application package starts from 5.999 ₺ (from ≈ 175.99 AUD) for up to 10 study-abroad documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review). Court decisions and long or multi-page documents are quoted after review.
Is NAATI required for a translation completed outside Australia?
Not for Home Affairs visa and citizenship applications: Home Affairs says “Translators outside Australia do not have to be NAATI accredited.” Translations made in Australia need a NAATI-accredited translator, and other bodies such as Transport for NSW, Ahpra and some universities have their own rules.
Can a sworn translator in Turkey prepare a translation for Home Affairs?
Yes. Home Affairs’ published rule allows a translator outside Australia without NAATI accreditation, provided the translation includes the translator’s full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and experience in English. My translations include all of these. Acceptance is decided by Home Affairs.
Which translator details should appear on the translation?
Home Affairs asks for the translator’s full name, address and telephone number, and their qualifications and experience in the language, all in English. Every translation I deliver carries these details, together with my statement of accuracy, the date, my signature and stamp.
Is notarisation included?
No. The Home Affairs pages cited here do not ask for notarisation of translations. If you or the receiving body ask for notarisation in Türkiye, the notary fee is quoted separately before you pay.
Can I order multiple documents?
Yes. Send them together for one written quote. The visa or immigration package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ 102.99 AUD) for up to 5 standard documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review), and the student or academic package starts from 5.999 ₺ (from ≈ 175.99 AUD) for up to 10 documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review); court decisions and long documents are quoted separately.
How do I order from Australia?
Send a scan or clear photo of each document by WhatsApp or email and say what it is for. You get a written quote; after payment the translation is emailed as a PDF. By credit/debit card, by international bank transfer to my IBAN, or by Western Union where delivery to a bank account is available from your location; cash is possible in person in Türkiye. Prices are based on my Turkish lira tariff and AUD figures are approximate; your written quote states the exact amount, the currency to send and the payment details. Bank and Western Union fees are not included. Credit/debit cards, bank transfers and Western Union are accepted. PayPal and Wise are not currently supported.
Do you translate a Turkish birth certificate for Australian citizenship?
Yes. I translate the birth certificate or nüfus kayıt örneği with the translator details Home Affairs asks for. Upload the original scan and the translation together.
Do you translate a Turkish police certificate for Australia?
Yes. I translate the Turkish criminal record (adli sicil) for visa or citizenship applications. For citizenship, Home Affairs asks for the original police certificates, and my translation goes in with them.
Can I use your translation for my NSW driver licence?
No. Transport for NSW accepts licence translations only from Multicultural NSW, the Department of Home Affairs and two named consular offices.
Do you give immigration advice?
I translate documents and do not give immigration advice. Which documents you submit is for you, your registered migration agent and Home Affairs to decide.
- Home Affairs — evidence documents: English translations →
- Home Affairs — citizenship for permanent residents (documents and translations) →
- Home Affairs — partner visa subclass 820 (translations) →
- Australian Embassy Türkiye — supporting documents and English translations →
- Service NSW — transfer an overseas driver licence →
- Ahpra — translating documents →
