Sealingo prepares the translation, and a sworn translator at a partner agency signs it. If required, a notary certifies it; a courier delivers it to your address within Istanbul.
DOCX in the original layout with a Quality Control Report in Turkish. Your account's authorized person approves it; files are downloaded from the dashboard.
A sworn translator at the partner agency reviews, corrects, signs and stamps the translation you approved.
A notary certifies the translation signed by the sworn translator. The document type determines the courier direction.
Sworn translation orders skip step four. You can follow every step on your job page.
The translation is prepared in its original layout by the same specialist agents and independent review as digital delivery.
A sworn translator at the partner agency reviews the translation against the source document and corrects it if needed.
The sworn translator signs and stamps the translation. Responsibility for the content lies with the signing translator.
For notarized orders, the agency has the signed translation notarized.
A courier brings the certified translation to your address. With a two-way courier, your original document is returned as well.
For sworn translations, the courier is always one-way. For notarized translations, the direction depends on how the notary certifies the document.
The courier brings the certified translation to your address.
The courier collects the original document from you and, after notarization, returns it together with the translation.
You select the document type when you order; the courier direction follows from it.

Per page, excl. VAT, translation credits included
Translation fees are 30% lower than traditional sworn and notarized translation prices. Notary fees cannot be discounted.
| Language | Traditional | Sworn | Notarized |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | ₺500 | ₺350 | ₺350 + notary fee |
| German, French | ₺550 | ₺375 | ₺375 + notary fee |
| Arabic | ₺600 | ₺400 | ₺400 + notary fee |
| Russian | ₺666 | ₺450 | ₺450 + notary fee |
| Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese | ₺750 | ₺525 | ₺525 + notary fee |

| Chinese, Japanese, Korean | ₺1,000 | ₺700 | ₺700 + notary fee |
“Traditional”: the median of sworn translation price lists published in 2026, excl. VAT. 1 page = 1,000 characters excluding spaces. Every document counts as at least 1 page; short documents such as ID cards, passports and diplomas count as 1 page.
The indicative price includes translation credits: the job's translation credits are deducted from this amount and are not charged separately.
Notary fees are set by the 2026 Notary Fee Tariff and statutory charges and cannot be discounted: the amount on the notary's receipt is passed on as is. Your order shows an estimate; the receipt sets the final amount. For a one-page document in 2026, it is roughly ₺1,370–1,770.
For now, the courier operates only within Istanbul: delivery and pickup addresses must be in Istanbul. Your job goes to the partner agency nearest your address, and the courier leaves from that agency's office; the fee is per trip, based on distance, and appears as a separate line item in your order. A two-way courier is two trips: collecting the original and returning it after notarization. All contracts go two-way for notarized orders and one-way for sworn translation orders.
Sworn translation, notary and courier fees are paid with credits: 1 credit = ₺56, excl. VAT.
We are looking for partner agencies to handle these deliveries. Applications are open to translation agencies with a business account.
Independent quality review and a Quality Control Report in Turkish
DOCX in the original layout; formatting is preserved in Word and Excel files
Review screen; revision rounds are free
Files rejected as unreadable use no credits
After a document is read, a program counts the characters of the source text, including spaces. Table lines, unreadable areas and page layout are not counted. Each document counts as at least 1,000 characters (one page). The count is known before translation starts. If your credits may not be enough, the job's credits are calculated before translation starts and the job pauses once at that figure; no more than this amount is deducted for the job, and less if the final count is lower. No credits are deducted while it is paused; once you add credits, the job resumes automatically.
In English and German, 1,000 characters equal 1 credit. Translation rates vary by language; in languages with higher rates, 1,000 characters cost more credits. Credits are calculated by the language of each page: on a bilingual page, each language is counted with its own multiplier, and a page already in the target language is free. For a language not listed in the table, 1,000 characters equal 2 credits. The rule is the same for translation into and out of Turkish. Calculate your document's credits for free
When the translation is delivered, that is, as soon as the job opens for your review. Revision rounds, files rejected as unreadable and jobs that cannot be completed use no credits. Approval does not deduct any further credits; it only unlocks the unwatermarked files.
A business account is for companies, agencies and institutions: it works with a team of up to 3 people and is opened with Sealingo's approval. An individual account is for freelance sworn translators, sole-proprietor customs brokers and sole proprietorships, and for personal use, such as students: it works with a single user and opens as soon as you sign up. Packages, credit prices and the process are the same for both. For personal use, prices are shown including VAT, you accept a pre-contract information form and a distance sales contract before each credit purchase, and unused credits carry a 14-day right of withdrawal.
Yes. Each copy is translated separately and its characters are counted separately. Identical copies are detected and noted in the delivery note.
Not with digital delivery. Translations are prepared to sworn-translator standards; this does not make them sworn translations. Sealingo is not a sworn translator or a notary and does not provide apostilles. There are two ways to use a translation as a sworn or notarized translation. Your own sworn translator reviews the translation and adds their declaration and signature; notarization is then done on that basis. Or you order Sworn & notarized delivery: a sworn translator at a partner agency reviews, signs and stamps the translation, a notary certifies it if required, and a courier delivers it within Istanbul.
