Certified Greek & Turkish Document Translation for Cyprus

We translate all types of Cypriot documents including birth certificates (Πιστοποιητικό Γέννησης), marriage certificates (Πιστοποιητικό Γάμου), death certificates (Πιστοποιητικό Θανάτου), national identity cards (Δελτίο Ταυτότητας), criminal record certificates (Ποινικό Μητρώο), academic transcripts and degree certificates, police clearance certificates, driving licenses, court orders and divorce decrees, company registration certificates (Πιστοποιητικό Εγγραφής Εταιρείας), and corporate documents. We handle Greek-to-English, Turkish-to-English, and 100+ other language pairs.

Yes. Every translation includes a signed certification statement attesting to accuracy and completeness. Our certified translations are accepted by USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, IRCC (Canada), the Australian Department of Home Affairs, Immigration New Zealand, and credential evaluation agencies worldwide. Cyprus does not require a formal sworn translator (ορκωτός μεταφραστής) system like some continental European countries, so our standard certified translations are widely accepted for both international and many domestic purposes.

Standard certified translation is delivered within 4-6 business days. Express processing is available for 2-3 business days, and rush delivery within 24 hours for select single-page documents. If apostille authentication through the Ministry of Justice and Public Order is required, additional processing time should be expected. We provide a complete timeline estimate at the time of your order.

We translate from both Greek and Turkish — Cyprus's two official languages — into English and 100+ other languages. The most common pairs include Greek-English, Greek-German, Greek-French, Greek-Italian, Greek-Russian, and Greek-Arabic. We also translate from other languages into Greek for documents being used in Cyprus. Many Cypriot documents already contain English text, which can simplify the translation process.

Yes. Our certified translations of Cypriot documents are accepted by USCIS, UK Visas and Immigration, IRCC (Canada), the Australian Department of Home Affairs, Immigration New Zealand, and Schengen area immigration authorities. For additional authentication, we coordinate apostille processing through the Ministry of Justice and Public Order for acceptance in all 129+ Hague Convention member states.

For most international immigration authorities, our standard certified translation is sufficient without additional notarization. Cyprus does not have a formal sworn translator system like Germany or France. When additional authentication is needed for specific Cypriot proceedings, translations can be notarized by a Certifying Officer at a District Court or by a practicing advocate (δικηγόρος). DoVisa can advise on the specific requirements for your destination.

Yes. Cyprus has been a Contracting Party since 30 April 1973 — one of the earliest members. The designated competent authority is the Ministry of Justice and Public Order (Υπουργείο Δικαιοσύνης και Δημοσίας Τάξεως). Apostilled Cypriot documents are accepted in all 129+ Convention member states without further embassy legalization. DoVisa coordinates the complete apostille process on your behalf.

EU Regulation 2016/1191 simplifies requirements for certain public documents circulating between EU member states. For some document types — birth, death, marriage certificates, and others — multilingual standard forms can reduce or eliminate the need for both translation and apostille within the EU. However, for non-EU destinations (US, UK post-Brexit, Canada, Australia) and for document types not covered by the regulation, certified translation and apostille remain necessary. DoVisa advises on the specific requirements based on your destination.

Our Cyprus translation pricing follows a transparent per-page structure with volume discounts that apply automatically for larger projects. Pricing varies based on document type, language pair, and processing speed. Apostille processing fees through the Ministry of Justice and Public Order are quoted separately. Upload your documents on our order page to receive an instant, detailed quote with no hidden fees.

Yes. Our translators are experienced in reading handwritten Greek and Turkish text, including older Cypriot civil records and historical documents. Cyprus's vital records maintained by the Civil Registry and Migration Department may contain handwritten entries, particularly in older records. For documents with compromised legibility, we note any unclear sections and provide our professional interpretation.

You will receive your certified translation as a high-resolution PDF delivered via email, suitable for immediate digital submission to immigration authorities and government portals. The PDF includes the translated document, the certification statement, and the translator's credentials. If you need a physical hard copy with original stamps and signatures, we ship via tracked international courier with delivery confirmation.

Yes. DoVisa translates documents issued by the Republic of Cyprus in both Greek and Turkish — the country's two official languages under Article 3 of the Constitution. We handle civil registry documents, academic credentials, court orders, and corporate filings regardless of the language of issuance. Our translator network includes specialists in both Cypriot Greek and Turkish administrative terminology.
