About Us

Our Vision

To remove language barriers and be a trusted solution partner in our clients’ international processes. We see every document as a responsibility that touches the work or the dream of the person behind it.

Our Team

We work with translators specialised in law, medicine, engineering and academia, and wherever possible native speakers of the target language; every project passes through independent revision.

Our Working Principles

Measurable quality: the ISO 17100 three-stage process.
Strict confidentiality: NDA and encrypted infrastructure.
Transparent pricing: no surprise costs.
On-time delivery: faithful to our commitments.

How the certified translation Works

We keep things simple and complete every project in five clear steps, with no uncertainty at any stage:

Request & quote: Send the document and we confirm price and deadline in writing.
The right translator: Your text goes to an expert who knows the field’s terminology.
Double check: A second reviser reviews the translation end to end.
Official certification: Sworn certification, notarization and apostille are added as needed.
Hand-over: Digital and/or printed copies reach you by your preferred method.

You can follow progress at every step and ask about status whenever you like.

Measurable Quality: Three-Stage Control

For certified translation we apply the discipline of ISO 17100 to make quality measurable. No text leaves us straight from a single hand:

Expert translation: a translator with domain knowledge.
Independent revision: a one-to-one check against the source.
Quality control (final QA): proofreading and formatting.

With error categories and feedback loops we continuously improve, and our translation memory preserves your brand-specific terminology.

Our Information-Security Standard

The security of your certified translation files matters as much as quality. Everyone in the process — translator, reviser and project manager — works under a strict confidentiality undertaking, and we can apply your own company NDA if you prefer.

Documents are stored in a 256-bit encrypted environment and destroyed at project close. We also stand behind the accuracy of our work and make in-scope corrections free of charge.

Why Holland Tercüme?

Translation is less a commodity than a matter of trust. Here are concrete reasons to choose us:

Expert team: specialists in law, medicine, technical and academic fields, at native level.
Consistency: translation memory and term bases keep your documents aligned.
Confidentiality: NDA and 256-bit encrypted infrastructure.
Speed: delivery on the promised date, without delay.
Single point of contact: we manage translation, notarization and apostille end to end.

Our goal is not to finish a single job but to be the first reliable name you think of whenever you need translation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between certified translation and a notarized translation?

A certified (sworn) translation carries the signature and stamp of an authorised sworn translator; notarization is the notary’s official attestation of that translation. Public institutions, consulates and courts most often require notarization. We assess which one you need free of charge, based on the institution you will submit to, and prevent unnecessary expense.

Do I need to bring my document in person?

It isn’t necessary. A legible scan or photo is enough to begin. Only a few official procedures that require the original mean you would need to bring or courier it; we flag this upfront. We work remotely with clients across the country.

How fast is delivery?

Most documents are delivered within 1–2 business days, and we offer a same-day option for urgent work. The only real driver of turnaround is volume and language pair. On large projects we can split the work and deliver in stages so you are not kept waiting.

Do you also handle the apostille?

Yes. After notarization we follow the apostille (or, for non-Hague countries, consular legalization) on your behalf in Ankara and make the document internationally valid. You do not need to run between the governor’s office, district office or courthouse — we manage the entire chain.

How can I pay?

You can pay by bank transfer/EFT and other common methods. Individual jobs are usually paid before work begins; for corporate clients we offer periodic (monthly) invoicing under a framework agreement. The full amount is clear at the quote stage.

How is the confidentiality of my documents protected?

Information security is a core principle: we sign an NDA with anyone who requests one and keep your files on secure systems accessible only to authorised experts. When the work is done your data is destroyed at your request. This care is one reason law firms and public bodies choose us.

What happens if there is an error in the translation?

We make all in-scope corrections free of charge and stand behind the work we deliver. Our priority in case of any dissatisfaction is not a refund but bringing the translation fully in line with your expectations and the receiving institution’s requirements.

Will an institution abroad accept your translation?

Yes. Documents prepared with a sworn translator’s certification, notarization and apostille carry international validity. Based on whether the destination country is party to the Hague Convention, we determine the correct approval chain from the start and deliver the document in the format the relevant institution expects.
