About the role

Verdacert provides USCIS-certified translations for immigration filings, court proceedings, university applications, and medical documentation, with a particular focus on MENA-region languages and document conventions. We're looking for a Legal Turkish Translator to join our reviewer network, translating and certifying Turkish-language documents such as nüfus cüzdanı (national ID) records, marriage records, and apostilled court documents into English for use in official filings.

What you'll do

Translate Turkish civil, legal, and court documents into English with full fidelity to the source, including names, dates, and numbers
Review and edit machine-generated first drafts for accuracy, completeness, and correct terminology
Apply standard transliteration conventions to proper nouns and ensure names match applicant spellings (e.g., as used on immigration petitions)
Sign certification statements attesting to the accuracy and completeness of each translation
Preserve original document layout and formatting in the final delivered translation
Meet defined turnaround windows, including expedited same-day or rush requests when assigned

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Turkish and English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil registry, or court documents
Strong working knowledge of Turkish civil document conventions (nüfus cüzdanı, marriage and birth records, court judgments)
Meticulous attention to detail, especially with names, dates, and numerical data
Ability to work within tight, defined deadlines without sacrificing accuracy
Comfort signing formal certification statements and standing behind the accuracy of your work

Nice to have

Prior experience with USCIS or other immigration-related document translation
Familiarity with certified translation standards required by US courts or federal agencies
Experience with apostille or notarization processes for Turkish documents
