Macedonian Legal Translation Service
Our notary-sworn translators translate legally binding documents—such as contracts, powers of attorney, letters of consent, court decisions, criminal records and legal notices—between Macedonian and Turkish, and we complete the notarization and apostille steps required by official authorities before delivering them to you.
What Is Macedonian Legal Translation?
Macedonian legal translation is the translation of legally binding documents—such as contracts, powers of attorney, letters of consent, court judgments, and official correspondence—between Macedonian and Turkish by our notary-sworn translators. Because these texts directly determine the rights and obligations of the parties, we preserve clause numbers, defined terms, and annotations faithfully to the original; we provide translation services and do not give legal advice. When a document is to be submitted to an official authority in Türkiye, we have the translation bearing our sworn translator's signature certified at the notary public holding the translator's oath record; when the document will be used in North Macedonia, we also obtain an apostille certificate on the notarized document from the district governorship or governorship under the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention.
Which Legal Documents Do We Translate Between Macedonian and Turkish?
We translate legal documents in both directions for use before courts, notary offices, land registry directorates, or in inter-company transactions in Türkiye and North Macedonia.
Contracts and Protocols
For sales, lease, partnership, and service agreements, our sworn translators prepare your Macedonian contract translation while keeping clause numbering, defined terms, and party obligations consistent throughout the text.
Powers of Attorney and Letters of Consent
For instruments drafted or certified by a notary for use in the other country, we prepare Macedonian power of attorney translations and letters of consent, and we handle notarization as well as apostille certification at the governorship or district governorship.
Court Decisions and Judgments
We prepare Macedonian court judgment translations for decrees in divorce, custody, inheritance, and debt recovery cases, transferring all finality annotations, seals, and apostille wording on the document into the translated text in full.
Criminal Record Certificates
We translate criminal record certificates issued by the authorities of North Macedonia or Türkiye for residence permit, citizenship, or employment files, including the verification codes and apostille certificates on the document.
Title Deeds and Real Estate Documents
We translate title deeds, ownership certificates, and cadastral records used in property sales and inheritance transfers into Macedonian or Turkish, matching personal names to their official passport spelling.
Legal Notices and Official Correspondence
Our notary-sworn translators translate formal notices, notifications, and administrative summonses served between parties, attorneys, and public authorities into the target language while preserving all deadlines and legal demands.
How Is a Power of Attorney Prepared for Use in the Other Country?
When a power of attorney executed before a notary in North Macedonia is to be used in Türkiye, the apostille for notarized documents is issued by the Ministry of Justice of North Macedonia. Once the apostilled document reaches us, our notary-sworn translators complete the Macedonian power of attorney translation and we obtain notarization in Türkiye. If the document was brought to Türkiye without an apostille, we plan the legalization chain—consular authentication, sworn translation, notarization, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation—together with you according to the practice of the receiving institution.
When a power of attorney executed at a notary in Türkiye is to be used in North Macedonia, we translate the document into Macedonian, obtain notarization, and have the apostille affixed to the notarized document at the district governorship (kaymakamlık) or provincial governorship (valilik). Because the acceptance of a translation prepared in Türkiye depends on the receiving institution in North Macedonia, we clarify the required certification steps with you before starting. In addition, under Article 74 of the Notary Law (Noterlik Kanunu), if the person granting the power of attorney does not speak Turkish, a sworn interpreter must be present during the notary transaction; we provide a Macedonian interpreter for this procedure.
What Do We Pay Attention to When Translating Court Judgments and Decrees?
We translate court judgments and decrees in full rather than summarizing them, preserving every element on the document. Whether for a Macedonian translation of a divorce decree, a certificate of inheritance, or a debt collection judgment, we render the operative part, reasoned explanations, finalization annotations, court seals, dates, and docket numbers completely into the target language. We also include the apostille stamped on the back or attached to the decision in the translation, so the reviewing authority sees every record from the original judgment in the exact same order.
We transcribe party names and identification details in the judgment based on the basic Latin spelling found on North Macedonia passports and ID cards in accordance with the ICAO Doc 9303 standard, and we maintain consistent equivalents for court and institution names throughout the text. We prepare the sworn translation and notarization of foreign court judgments to be used in recognition and enforcement lawsuits in Türkiye; however, we do not provide legal advice regarding lawsuit requirements or application procedures.
How Do We Protect Confidentiality and Term Consistency in Legal Texts?
Contracts, court files, and powers of attorney contain identification data and trade secrets. Pursuant to Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK), Article 5(2)(c) and (ç), we process the personal data in your documents solely within the scope of performing the contract and fulfilling legal obligations in order to carry out translation and official certification procedures. We share your files only with the recipient groups required by the procedure: notary offices for certification, courier companies for physical delivery, our IT infrastructure providers for hosting, and authorized public institutions upon request.
When performing Turkish-Macedonian contract translation, we use the exact same Macedonian or Turkish term for the same legal concept from start to finish across the main agreement, annexes, amendment protocols, and related official correspondence. We align the terms defined in the definitions clause, article and paragraph numbers, and cross-references one-to-one in both languages so that the parties read the exact same rights and obligations in both language versions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Message on WhatsApp Is notarization mandatory for a Macedonian contract translation?
Whether notarization is required depends on the institution or company to which you will submit the contract. Submissions to official authorities generally require notarization alongside a sworn translation, whereas a sworn translation alone may suffice for informational use. Before we begin translating, we confirm the certification requirement of the receiving party with you.
How is a power of attorney issued in North Macedonia used in Türkiye?
For a notarized power of attorney issued in North Macedonia to be valid in Türkiye, it must first receive an apostille certificate from the Ministry of Justice of North Macedonia. Once the apostilled document arrives in Türkiye, our notary-sworn translators translate the power of attorney into Turkish and we have it notarized at the notary office that holds the translator's oath record. For documents brought without an apostille, we follow the consular and Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalization chain.
Is a power of attorney issued in Türkiye valid in North Macedonia?
A power of attorney issued by a notary in Türkiye can be used for procedures in North Macedonia once it is translated into Macedonian and certified. Our sworn translators translate your power of attorney into Macedonian, we obtain the notarization, and we then handle the apostille steps at the governorship or district governorship. Because the acceptance of a translation prepared in Türkiye depends on the practice of the receiving institution in North Macedonia, we confirm that institution's requirements with you before starting.
How is a criminal record certificate obtained in North Macedonia translated in Türkiye?
Criminal record certificates obtained in North Macedonia receive their apostille from the Ministry of Justice of North Macedonia. Once you send us your apostilled certificate, our sworn translators prepare the Macedonian criminal record translation and we obtain the notarization required by the official authority where it will be submitted. We deliver the completed official document via in-person pickup at our office, courier delivery, or e-signed PDF.
Must a divorce decree issued by a court in North Macedonia be translated in Türkiye?
Divorce decrees obtained from courts in North Macedonia must be translated into Turkish to be used for recognition, enforcement, or civil registry registration procedures in Türkiye. Once the decree has been apostilled by the Basic Court that issued the ruling, our sworn translators translate it into Turkish and we complete the notarization. Before starting, we check the certification steps required by the court or civil registry office where you will apply.
How do you protect the confidentiality of the legal documents I send for translation?
We process all legal documents you send—such as contracts, court decisions, and powers of attorney—strictly to complete the translation and official certification procedures in accordance with Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data. We share your documents only with the recipient groups required for the job: notary offices for certification, courier companies for delivery, and our IT infrastructure and email providers for hosting; we transfer them to authorized public institutions only upon official request.
