What your document needs for Türkiye
- 1
Check the recipient’s instructions
Confirm the wording required, whether an original or a copy is acceptable and whether a Turkish translation is needed. If a Turkish lawyer has prepared a power of attorney, send us the draft for review and wait for signing instructions.
- 2
Notarise where necessary
The Notary may need to witness your signature or certify a copy. GRO birth, marriage and death certificates can go straight to the UK FCDO apostille, without a notarial act.

Check whether a consular step applies
Türkiye is a party to the Apostille Convention, so the apostille is normally the authentication step. If the recipient asks for anything more, send us its instructions and we quote any further charge in writing before you proceed.

Translation

Does a UK document need the Turkish Consulate’s stamp?
Türkiye is a party to the Apostille Convention, so the UK FCDO apostille is normally the authentication step. Check the recipient’s instructions, and we confirm the route before you pay.
Does it need a Turkish translation?
Often, but it depends on the document and the recipient. Turkish Foreign Ministry guidance refers to a translation by a sworn translator. Ask the recipient before arranging one; any translation charge is quoted in writing.
Can you help with a Turkish power of attorney, for example to buy or sell property?
Yes. Send us the draft before you sign. A power of attorney, notarised and apostilled, is £230 plus VAT per document, including the FCDO fee.
Can I sign online?
Possibly, if you are in England and Wales. The Notary first checks that the act, the document and the recipient permit online notarisation. Some matters need an in-person appointment.
How much will it cost in total?
Notarisation and the UK FCDO apostille are fixed fees per document, set out in the table above: for example, a power of attorney notarised and apostilled is £230 plus VAT, including the FCDO fee. Any embassy or consular, translation or courier charges for Türkiye are quoted in writing before you proceed, so you know the full cost before you pay.
How long does it take?
Notary appointments are usually available the same day, with 2 hours’ notice. A standard UK FCDO apostille takes 3 working days, an urgent apostille 1 working day, and an e-apostille usually arrives within 24 hours.
How do I get the finished document back?
Collect it from our Gray’s Inn Road office, or choose next-day UK delivery for £25 plus VAT per order. International courier is quoted in writing. E-apostilles are emailed.
