About Universe Tercüme

The same care for individual and corporate needs

A diploma for a study application abroad and a company’s commercial contract need different preparation. Whether the request concerns a passport, a civil registry document, an academic document, a company registration, a technical document or an interpreting session, the purpose, language and delivery format are assessed together. You can find the scope of our services on the areas of expertise page and the list of documents in our document catalogue.

Accuracy and terminology

In a good translation, it is not only the sentences that matter; names, titles, dates, numbers and the relationships between texts matter too. A complete and legible source file is the foundation of this work. If there are institution names, industry terms or previously used equivalents, you can share them at the start. Reviewing the files in the same project together helps keep terminology consistent.

Discuss confidentiality at the outset

Personal documents and commercial texts may contain sensitive information. In your request, state the nature of the file, any specific confidentiality expectations and any restrictions on sharing. If you need a non-disclosure agreement, a particular file transfer method or restricted access, discuss the scope before work begins. You can start by sharing the documents and information needed for a quote.

Clear scope, a quote tailored to your document

The price is assessed according to the language pair, text volume, subject expertise, file format, approval requirements and delivery time. Knowing which items are included, such as translation, notarization, extra copies or shipping, lets you plan your budget accurately. Documents added, or delivery terms changed, after the quote is approved need to be reassessed.

Communication and delivery plan

For a preliminary review you can use email or WhatsApp, or call us for information. Work is scheduled once the file scope and quote are clear. Whether the document will be submitted digitally or in hard copy, the number of copies and any approval steps are discussed at the start. Sharing the institution’s written request setting out its specific conditions helps determine the right preparation.

Our office is in Ataşehir; requests from across Istanbul and from other cities in Türkiye can also be handled remotely. For our address and opening hours, see the contact page.

This guide is for general information only. Check the document and approval requirements for your application with the relevant institution, and include their current list of requirements with your translation request.
