Apostille and Certification for Macedonian Translation
We carry out sworn Macedonian translation, notarization, and apostille procedures for documents to be submitted to official authorities in Türkiye and North Macedonia. We deliver your completed official documents as an e-signed PDF, by courier, or through in-person pickup at our office.
What Are Macedonian Certification and Apostille Procedures?
Türkiye and North Macedonia are parties to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostilled document requires no further certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For the certification steps required to use a document between the two countries, we prepare the sworn translation, complete notarization at the notary holding the translator's oath record, and obtain the governorate apostille or follow the consular certification chain for documents arriving without an apostille.
Which Macedonian Certification Steps Do We Handle?
Apostille on Translations
For administrative documents issued in Türkiye and their notarized translations going to North Macedonia, we obtain the apostille at the governorate or district governorate.
Documents Apostilled in North Macedonia
We translate documents apostilled by the Basic Courts or the Ministry of Justice in North Macedonia into Turkish and obtain notarization for your official procedures in Türkiye.
Notarization Procedures
We have the translation prepared by our sworn translator officially certified at the Turkish notary public where the translator's oath record is kept.
Consular Certification Process
Documents from North Macedonia without an apostille require consular certification; after that step, we carry out the sworn Macedonian translation, notarization, and Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs approval.
Civil Status Documents
We confirm the receiving institution's requirements with you for birth, marriage, and citizenship records, and complete the sworn translation and notarization.
Academic and Corporate Documents
For diplomas, transcripts, student certificates, corporate records, and powers of attorney, we provide sworn translation in both directions, obtain notarization, and secure the apostille for Turkish documents.
How Do Macedonian Translation and Certification Work?

Our sworn translator prepares, signs, and stamps the Turkish or Macedonian translation of your document.
Notary Certification
We have the sworn translation certified at the notary office holding our translator's oath record.
Apostille and Delivery
Once the governorate or district governorate apostille is issued, we deliver your documents in person at our office, as an e-signed PDF, or by courier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Message on WhatsApp Can you get an apostille in Türkiye for my North Macedonian document?
No. An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document originated. Documents from North Macedonia receive their apostille from the Basic Courts (Osnovni sudovi) or the Ministry of Justice in North Macedonia before you send them to Türkiye.
Should the apostille be obtained before or after translation?
For documents coming from North Macedonia to Türkiye, obtain the apostille on the original document before we translate it. For Turkish documents going to North Macedonia, we confirm the receiving institution's apostille and certification requirements with you before starting the sworn translation, notarization, and apostille process.
Is a translation completed in Türkiye directly accepted in North Macedonia?
Whether a notarized and apostilled translation completed in Türkiye is accepted in North Macedonia depends on the practice of the receiving institution. For this reason, we review the certification requirements of the receiving authority with you before starting the process and complete the translation and apostille chain accordingly.
Do multilingual CIEC civil status extracts need translation or an apostille?
Because multilingual (CIEC) international civil status extracts include Turkish headings, they are directly accepted in civil registry procedures in Türkiye without any certification or translation. If you are submitting your document to another institution, we clarify that authority's requirements with you before starting the process. If your document is a standard single-language record rather than a multilingual extract, sworn translation and certification steps may be required.
How is the apostille obtained on a Turkish notarized translation?
After our sworn translator signs the translation and the notary public certifies it, we submit the notarized document to the district governorate (kaymakamlık) or governorate (valilik) to obtain the apostille on your behalf.
What do you need from me to start the process?
You can send a clear scan or photo of your document online or via WhatsApp, along with the name of the receiving institution. For notarization and governorate apostille procedures, we will let you know when the physical original is required.
How can I use a document from North Macedonia without an apostille?
Documents brought from North Macedonia to Türkiye without an apostille go through consular certification, sworn translation, notarization, and certification by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Apostilled documents do not need this chain, depending on the institution's practice.
