Most current Turkish requests involve civil, identity, legal, and academic records issued in Türkiye for immigration and official U.S. use, and Turkish birth certificate translation remains one of the most common packet types.
Türkiye is a Hague Apostille Convention member, and under the HCCH status table the Convention entered into force for Türkiye on 29 September 1985 after ratification on 31 July 1985, so Turkish public documents generally use apostille instead of embassy legalization when the receiving country is also a Hague member.
That apostille step does not replace certified translation: USCIS, courts, and universities still require a complete English translation of Turkish characters, names, registry numbers, seals, annotations, and kinship wording.
If you are following older instructions or filing in a non-Hague destination, confirm whether you need translation only, translation plus apostille, or consular legalization before submission.
