Frequently Asked Questions About Sworn Sign Language Interpreting for Notarial Procedures
The type of procedure, relevant notary office, date, time, location and the individual’s preferred communication method are determined. Turkish Sign Language (TİD) proficiency, the ability to communicate in writing and any witness requirements are assessed in advance in consultation with the notary office. The qualifications and availability of a suitable TİD interpreter are then verified. The assignment is finalized once the institutional requirements, scope of services and written quotation have been confirmed.
The relevant notary office is informed in advance of the procedure and communication requirements, and asked which qualifications, identity documents and sworn interpreter credentials must be provided. Article 73 of the Turkish Notary Law provides for the involvement of witnesses and a sworn interpreter when a person has a hearing or speech disability and is also unable to communicate in writing. The acceptance of the interpreter and the witness requirements for the specific procedure are confirmed with the relevant notary office. The same requirements are not assumed to apply to every procedure.
Requests can be assessed for notarial procedures involving powers of attorney, declarations of undertaking, consent forms, declarations, formal notices, contracts, sales, transfers, company and inheritance matters. TİD interpreting services can also be arranged for court proceedings, meetings with lawyers, land registry and marriage procedures, healthcare consultations, educational institutions, banks and corporate meetings. Interpreter acceptance, participation conditions and accessibility requirements are confirmed separately before each assignment.
Please provide the type of procedure, name of the institution or notary office, date, time, estimated duration and full address. The individual’s use of Turkish Sign Language (TİD), preferred communication method and ability to communicate in writing are also taken into account during planning. Please share any interpreter and witness requirements communicated by the institution. For remote interpreting sessions, the platform, connection details and video requirements are assessed in advance.
Sharing a sample document, agenda or key terminology in advance helps facilitate preparation. Required documents are determined according to the type of procedure and the institution’s requirements. Unnecessary personal information is not requested. A secure document-sharing method is agreed upon. The preliminary review helps the interpreter prepare the relevant terminology. Original documents and submission requirements for the procedure are confirmed separately with the institution.
Same-day requests are assessed based on the location, time, type of procedure, interpreter availability and the relevant institution’s acceptance requirements. Providing the appointment details and any documents requested by the institution as early as possible helps facilitate planning. No assignment is guaranteed until interpreter availability and institutional acceptance have been confirmed. The outcome and scope of services are communicated in writing.
Depending on the nature of the meeting and the institution’s approval, on-site or remote Turkish Sign Language (TİD) interpreting services may be arranged. For remote interpreting, the interpreter’s hands, face and upper body must be clearly visible. Appropriate lighting, camera positioning and an uninterrupted internet connection are essential. Remote participation is not automatically accepted for notarial or other official procedures. The appropriate interpreting method is confirmed in advance with the relevant institution and participants.
The service fee is determined based on the date, time, total assignment duration, type of procedure, required specialist expertise, on-site or remote service arrangements and the number of interpreters. Location, travel requirements and urgency may also affect the quotation. The quoted fee, working hours, waiting time and any additional expenses are specified in writing. The interpreting fee and any transaction fees charged by the institution are assessed separately.
The interpreter conveys the parties’ statements accurately and impartially, preserving their meaning and intent without making decisions on behalf of either party. Personal information and documents shared during the assignment are handled in accordance with the service’s confidentiality requirements. Communication preferences, accessibility needs, document-sharing arrangements and any specific confidentiality requirements are clarified before the assignment. Communication takes place directly between the parties concerned.
Please inform us of any changes to the date, time, location or institution as early as possible. Interpreter availability and, where necessary, acceptance by the relevant institution will be reconfirmed for the revised schedule. If the procedure takes longer than expected, additional working hours or waiting time will be assessed in accordance with the agreed service terms. Any additional fees and changes to the scope of the assignment will be clarified in writing in advance.
