Certification requirements
Notarized translations are required in pension and insurance period aggregation files.
An apostille is obtained for an SGK-certified document; it is issued by a provincial or district governor's office.
There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.
Preparing your document
- Ask the institution whether it accepts a barcoded record from e-Devlet
- Obtain a record covering all types of social insurance
- As it may have many pages, share the entire file for a quote
