Certified Turkish to English Translation for Sweden

Migrationsverket states: “All submitted documents should be in Swedish or English. If you have translated your documents, the translation should be certified. You must also include a copy of the document in its original language.” For applicants in Türkiye, the Swedish Embassy’s checklist says documents issued by the authorities in your country “must be translated into Swedish or English by an authorised translator”, and you show the originals at your appointment.

Neither text defines “certified” or “authorised”, and neither says that a sworn translator in Türkiye is automatically accepted or excluded. Migrationsverket decides on each application. Before you pay, I ask for your permit type, the documents on your checklist and any translator, notarisation or apostille requirement in it, so that you do not buy something your application cannot use.

UHR (recognition of foreign education). Translations must be made by an authorised translator. UHR’s FAQ adds: “You can also translate your documents in the country where you completed your education, provided that the translation is done by an authorized translator, preferably in English.” Tell me about your UHR application and I discuss it with you before you order. Documents already in English need no translation, and if you are registered with Arbetsförmedlingen, UHR says your documents can be translated at their expense.

Socialstyrelsen (licence for health professions). In its guidance on having your education assessed, Socialstyrelsen states: “Translation means that a certified translator translates your documents to Swedish or English” and “The translation can be done in any country.” Rules differ by profession; check yours. Long transcripts and course descriptions are quoted after review.

English is enough wherever the receiving authority accepts it — for example University Admissions, Migrationsverket and Socialstyrelsen as quoted above. If your authority or court requires Swedish, you need a Swedish authorised translator; find one in the Kammarkollegiet register. I translate into English only.

Skatteverket. For registering a marriage, birth or divorce in the Swedish Population Register, I could not find Skatteverket’s rules on translation language or translator. Ask Skatteverket before ordering; I do not promise acceptance for these cases.

Multilingual Turkish extracts (Formül A/B). Sweden is not a party to the convention on multilingual civil-status extracts (CIEC No. 16), so they are not automatically exempt from translation in Sweden. Ask your receiving authority whether it accepts them as issued. Source: CIEC Convention No. 16.

• A complete English translation of the document, including stamps, annotations and the finality note of court decisions.
• My certification statement as the translator, my name, signature and stamp, applied by hand on paper, the date and my contact details.
• A colour PDF scan of the signed and stamped translation; the paper original by courier when your procedure needs it.

The University Admissions, Migrationsverket and Socialstyrelsen instructions quoted on this page do not ask for a notarised or apostilled translation. If your authority does, I may be able to help organise Turkish notarisation of the translation and, where the document and the competent authority's procedure allow, the apostille. Your written quote shows the translation fee; notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs may be assessed in it according to the document, the scope of the work and, where applicable, the competent authority's fees.

An apostille on your Turkish source document and an apostille on the translation are two different certificates. A Turkish criminal record or court decision can receive an e-Apostil online (Ministry of Justice).

The translator. I am Uğur Arı, a sworn translator whose oath is recorded at the Kartal 12th (Istanbul) and Gebze 19th Notary Offices, and I run İngilizce Yeminli Çeviri. I work from Tuzla, Istanbul, Türkiye, and serve clients in Sweden online; I have no office in Sweden. Profile: LinkedIn.

Google reviews. My Google Business Profile, “İngilizce Yeminli Çeviri”, has 10 reviews with an average rating of 5.0 (checked 27 October 2026). None of them is from a client in Sweden yet. One recent review, translated from Turkish by Google: “I needed my diploma and transcript translated. Communicating via WhatsApp was very easy. They handled the notary procedures and sent them immediately by courier.” (Turan K., Google) Read all reviews on Google.

Everything is done online, whether you live in Sweden, in Türkiye or elsewhere.

• Step 1 — Send your documents. A PDF or a clear photo of each Turkish document by WhatsApp or email (info@ingilizceyeminliceviri.com).
• Step 2 — Tell me the receiving authority. University Admissions, Migrationsverket (and the permit type), UHR, Socialstyrelsen, or something else.
• Step 3 — Get one written quote. The translation fee is listed separately; notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs may be assessed in the quote according to the document, the scope of the work and, where applicable, the competent authority's fees. If English or a translation made in Türkiye does not fit your procedure, I tell you before you pay.
• Step 4 — Receive the translation. The signed and stamped translation as a PDF; standard documents within 24 hours, longer documents with the turnaround in your quote. Paper originals by courier on request (the recipient pays the courier).

Payment is 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. Your written quote states the exact amount, the currency to send and the payment details; bank and Western Union fees are not included. Once your translation is completed, a watermarked preview is shared; the final, watermark-free translation is delivered once the payment reaches my account. Credit/debit cards, bank transfers and Western Union are accepted. PayPal, Wise and Swish are not currently supported.
