Consecutive Interpreting is the agreement of people who speak two different languages through a sworn translator, or the translator first listens to the speaker and then translates it into the target language. Such transactions take place in the form of establishing relations before official authorities (Notary Public, Government Offices, Land Registry Offices, Courts, etc.) or providing dialogue between two foreigners. At the end of this process, the Sworn Translator certifies the accuracy and authenticity of the translation with his signature.
 

It is required for the sworn translation of the documents to be submitted to official institutions. Documents requested by such institutions must be translated by a sworn translator.
