In today's world, where entry and exit to foreign countries are quite frequent, there may be a need to have passports translated for various reasons. The need for Passport Translation for procedures we will undertake in other countries for education, culture, health, tourism, trade, or other reasons creates a demand for translators who can follow the necessary expert and official processes. Since passports are generally issued in a bilingual format, in the local language and English, they are sufficient for carrying out official procedures in many countries without requiring translation and approval. However, in many countries like the Republic of Turkey, it is necessary to have the passport translated by a sworn translator and approved by a notary in order to perform official transactions with passports issued by foreign countries.
What Are the Types of Passports?
The passports used in Turkey vary according to the individual's status and travel purpose. The most common one is the Ordinary (Bordeaux) Passport, which is the standard passport that all citizens without any restrictions can apply for. The Special (Green) Passport is issued to certain public officials and their families, along with visa exemption advantages. The Service (Gray) Passport is allocated to public personnel carrying out state duties abroad, while the Diplomatic (Black) Passport is issued to high-level state officials and representatives of diplomatic missions. In addition to these, there is also a Temporary (Red) Passport that is issued as a one-time pass through foreign representations to individuals who have lost their passports or whose passports have expired. All types of passports are issued as e-passports (chip-enabled) and provide various visa exemptions for travel to different countries.
