From order to delivery

Sworn translation orders skip step four. You can follow every step on your job page.

  1. Sealingo translates

    The translation is prepared in its original layout by the same specialist agents and independent review as digital delivery.

  2. A sworn translator reviews

    A sworn translator at the partner agency reviews the translation against the source document and corrects it if needed.

  3. Signed and stamped

    The sworn translator signs and stamps the translation. Responsibility for the content lies with the signing translator.

  4. Notarized if required

    For notarized orders, the agency has the signed translation notarized.

  5. Courier delivers

    A courier brings the certified translation to your address. With a two-way courier, your original document is returned as well.

One-way and two-way courier

For sworn translations, the courier is always one-way. For notarized translations, the direction depends on how the notary certifies the document.

One-way courier

The courier brings the certified translation to your address.

  • Sworn translation
  • Notarized, document certified from a printout
Two-way courier

The courier collects the original document from you and, after notarization, returns it together with the translation.

  • Notarized, original document required

Notarized: by document type

You select the document type when you order; the courier direction follows from it.

“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.

  • Translation and sworn signature

    The indicative price includes translation credits: the job's translation credits are deducted from this amount and are not charged separately.

  • Notary fee

    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.

  • Courier, within Istanbul only

    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.

  • Paid with credits

    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.

How were the indicative prices set?

Prices are based on an October 2026 measurement and are re-measured at regular intervals. The calculation is set out below.

Date
October 2026.
Source
Price lists from seven separate providers that publish sworn translation prices for 2026 online in Turkey, and the 2026 Notary Fee Tariff (Official Gazette, 30 December 2025, issue 33123). The source lists and the calculation sheet are kept in our records.
Method
  • For each language, the median of sworn translation per-page prices was taken; prices quoted including VAT had VAT removed.
  • Languages with little price data were calculated in the same group as languages with similar prices.
  • Sealingo price: median × 0.70, rounded down to the nearest ₺25. The difference is at least 30% in every row.
  • On the market, the translation part of a notarized translation costs the same as a sworn translation; the notary fee is added on top. Sealingo likewise discounts only the translation fee.
Unit
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 fee
The notary's fee is set by the tariff and statutory charges and cannot be discounted. It is therefore shown as a separate item and passed on at the amount on the receipt. If the 30% were applied to the total, the translation fee for a one-page document would not even cover the notary fee.
Scope
Courier fees, apostilles and consular legalization are not included in the indicative price. For now, the courier operates only within Istanbul; its fee appears as a separate line item in your order.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sealingo a sworn translator or a notary?

No. Sealingo prepares the translation, and your account's authorized person approves it. The signature is provided by a sworn translator at a partner translation agency; responsibility for the content lies with the signing translator. For notarized orders, the notary provides the certification.

Which cities does the courier serve?

For now, only Istanbul: delivery and pickup addresses must be in Istanbul. The courier fee appears as a separate line item in your order.

Why is my original document needed?

A notary certifies some documents from a printout and requires the original for others. For documents that require the original, the courier collects it from you and, after notarization, returns it together with the translation. Documents not on the list are also treated as two-way. For sworn translation orders, the courier is always one-way.

Why is the notary fee not discounted?

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. The 30% difference applies only to the translation fee and is measured against traditional sworn and notarized translation prices.

How do I pay?

Sworn translation, notary and courier fees are paid with credits: 1 credit = ₺56, excl. VAT. The indicative price includes translation credits: the job's translation credits are deducted from this amount and are not charged separately.

Is digital delivery still available?

Yes. With digital delivery, the translation is delivered as a DOCX in its original layout, and your account's authorized person approves it. For sworn or notarized use, you can also have your own sworn translator sign the translation.
