Turkish translation in Manchester
Manchester has its own Consulate General of Türkiye at 14 Oxford Court, which changes the arithmetic for anyone in the north of England: some acts that Londoners queue for can be done locally.
The consulate at Oxford Court
The Consulate General of Türkiye in Manchester is at 14 Oxford Court, M2 3WQ. For people in the north of England it removes the journey to Knightsbridge for consular business, though the exact list of counties each post covers is set by the consulates themselves and is worth checking on their sites before you book. Appointments are made online and the notary unit works on the principle of one act per appointment, so a power of attorney and a consent letter are two bookings, not one. What that unit does — vekaletname, muvafakatname, taahhütname, azilname and the rest — is described on consulate notary services, and the Manchester post has its own page at Consulate General in Manchester.
Where an outside translation is and is not wanted
For British passports, birth certificates and marriage certificates used in Turkish registration files, the consulates state that they do not ask for an outside sworn translation. For documents they do not handle in-house, they expect a translator from their accredited list. We are not on that list, and we say so rather than letting anyone find out at the counter. Our route is different: translation in Ankara, notarised there by a Turkish notary and apostilled if needed, which Turkish authorities accept and which requires no appointment on your side.
The rest of the city’s paperwork
The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan and Salford take transcripts and diplomas in English, usually as uploads. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and the private clinics around the city release records that patients take to Türkiye. Civil and family matters are heard at the Civil Justice Centre on Bridge Street West, where a translated Turkish judgment or a marriage certificate needs to be exhibit-ready rather than merely accurate. Businesses trading with Türkiye through the airport’s freight operations send invoices and origin paperwork.
Distance, and what it costs
We are in Ankara, not in Manchester, and there is no collection. That is a fact worth stating plainly on a page like this, because several UK agencies advertise a Manchester address and translate nowhere near it. Our version is simpler: scans by e-mail, a fixed quote, a certified PDF inside one to two working days, and a couriered paper set for £30 when a receiving body wants one. Turkish into English is from £10.00 per 1,000-character page, English into Turkish from £6.50.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Manchester consulate cover my town?
It serves the north of England, but the boundary between the Manchester and London posts is set by the consulates and can change. Confirm on their site before booking; appointments do not transfer.
Can I book you to come to the consulate with me?
We arrange interpreting for consulate appointments where an interpreter is required, for example when a non-Turkish speaker signs a notarial act. It is booked in advance and quoted separately.
Do you have a Manchester office?
No. We do not claim one and we have never had one. The work is done in Ankara.
Which is cheaper: consulate notarisation or Ankara notarisation?
They are not interchangeable. Consular acts carry consular fees per page; our Ankara route passes the Turkish notary tariff through at cost. Which one you need depends on the receiving office, not on price.
