Validating Your Credentials Internationally
An Equivalence Certificate (in Turkish, Denklik Belgesi) is a formal document issued by national authorities—such as the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) or the Ministry of National Education (MEB) in Turkey—confirming that a degree or diploma obtained abroad is equal to those issued within the home country.
When a student or professional moves from Turkey to a foreign country, or vice versa, the translation of this certificate becomes the “legal key” to their future. It is required by universities for enrollment, by employers for hiring, and by professional boards for licensing. Because this document represents the final word on your academic standing, the translation must be technically precise and legally incontestable.

Technical Accuracy and Academic Integrity: Our Translation Process
The translation of an equivalence certificate involves navigating complex educational hierarchies. Our process ensures total alignment:
- Academic Subject-Matter Experts: Your certificate is handled by a Sworn Translator who specializes in international education systems. They understand the nuances between different degree levels (e.g., Lisans vs. Bachelor of Science vs. Maîtrise).
- ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards: Our mandatory two-step verification process ensures:
- Terminological Precision: Correct rendering of the specific academic branch and the level of equivalency granted.
- Verification Codes: Accurate transcription of barcode numbers and digital verification links from e-Devlet or official portals.
- Authenticity Markers: Full translation of all official seals, holograms, and signatures from the issuing ministry.
- Certified/Sworn Translation: We provide official sworn translations that meet the strict requirements of organizations like WES (World Education Services), ECFMG, and foreign ministries of education.
- Notarization and Apostille Services: For an equivalence certificate to be valid in another country, it almost always requires a Notary Public certification and an Apostille. We manage this entire legalization chain on your behalf.
