A document must be certified by a notary or issued by the government’s official institutions in order to be certified for apostille or governorship. There is an issue to be be careful about here. If the document came from abroad, it must be apostilled in the country it came from.
For the countries subject to the Apostille that signed the Hague agreement, the Apostille certification is done by the district governorships. For countries that have not signed the Hague agreement, this certification is done by the governorates. However, these documents must be approved by the consulates of the country of destination after the approval of the governor’s office. As Kenbil Translation Office, we provide professional translation services, apostille services, governor approval services, ministry certificate services in primarily in Istanbul, to all around Turkey and the world since 1992 in 42 languages.
