Notarised translation — explained for Turkish readers
A translation on which a notary public has certified the translator's signature or declaration. In England and Wales the notary confirms identity, not accuracy.
A notarised translation in England and Wales is a certified translation that the translator has then signed, or sworn a declaration about, in front of a notary public. The notary's certificate confirms who signed and when. It does not confirm that the translation is correct, and the notary usually does not read the source language at all.
Turkish readers should not equate this with noter onaylı tercüme. In Türkiye the noter certifies the signature of a translator who has taken an oath before that same notary, and the result is accepted by every Turkish public office. In the UK, notarisation is an optional extra that no immigration or passport process requires; UKVI asks for certification only. It is sometimes requested by a foreign authority, a bank or a solicitor handling a property or probate matter.
If a Turkish body has asked you for a notarised translation, the Ankara route is the one that fits: see notarised translation in Turkey.
