Translation from Turkey vs. Germany
| Location | Per Page | Apostille Included? |
|---|---|---|
| Sworn in Turkey + Apostille | €10-20 | Apostille is separate (€250-500 TL) |
| Sworn in Stuttgart | €25-45 | Apostille is done separately |
A sworn translation prepared in Turkey with an Apostille is generally accepted in Germany (due to the Hague Convention). However, some institutions (especially the Stuttgart Standesamt – Civil Registry Office) might specifically request a local sworn translation. Always ask them before you apply.
After Translation
✅ You can get an Apostille in Turkey from the District Governor's Office (Kaymakamlık) or the Provincial Governor's Office (Valilik). ✅ For an Apostille in Germany, it's handled at the state (Land) level. For Stuttgart, this would be the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart (Regional Council of Stuttgart).
