Certified Greek Translation
Greek certificates and official documents may require certified, sworn, notarised or another formally accepted type of translation depending on the receiving authority and jurisdiction.
Confirm the requirements of the receiving authority
Requirements for a Greek translation submitted in South Africa may differ from those applied by an authority, embassy, university, court or other institution in Greece, Cyprus or another country.
A translation prepared according to South African requirements should not automatically be assumed to satisfy every Greek or European authority.
Translation, apostille, authentication, notarisation and legalisation are separate processes.
Tell us where the translation will be submitted and send us any instructions issued by the receiving authority.
Already Have the Greek Document?
Send us a clear scan or photograph of every page and tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can assess the document and provide a quotation.
Greek Alphabet, Names & Transliteration
Modern Greek is written in the Greek alphabet. For official translation, Greek-script names should be handled carefully together with any established Latin-letter spelling used in passports or other identity documents.
Greek Names in English
Greek names can sometimes appear in more than one Latin-letter spelling. The translation should not invent a new form where an official passport or recognised identity record already provides one.
Supplying the passport can therefore help maintain consistency across translated records.
Greek Accents & Spelling
Modern Greek uses accents such as the tonos, and some words may also contain diaeresis marks.
Names, places, authorities and institutional titles should be reproduced carefully from the Greek source.
Modern Greek for Current Official & Professional Documents
This service page focuses primarily on Modern Greek used in current civil, legal, academic, immigration, government and business documents.
Current Greek Documents
Modern government records, certificates, court documents, academic records and business material are translated according to present-day Greek terminology and institutional context.
Historical or Ancient Greek
Older manuscripts, historical records or Ancient Greek texts can require different specialist expertise from contemporary document translation.
Such material should be sent for individual assessment before quotation.
Greek Documents for South African, EU & International Use
Greek is the official language of Greece and one of the official languages of Cyprus. It is also an official language of the European Union.
Documents from Greece
Greek civil, police, academic, legal and corporate documents may use terminology specific to the Greek authority or institution that issued them.
Send the complete document, including stamps, annotations and reverse pages where applicable.
Documents from Cyprus
Greek is also used in Cyprus, where documents can reflect Cypriot institutions and administrative terminology.
The issuing country should therefore be identified rather than assuming that every Greek-language document originates in Greece.
Greek Documents May Also Contain English
Some Greek and Cypriot documents contain Greek together with English, Latin-letter names or other multilingual information.
Greek Text
Greek-language headings, entries, notes and official terminology must be translated accurately.
Existing English Text
English wording already appearing on the source should be considered when reproducing names, institutions and bilingual content.
Latin-Letter Names
Existing Latin-script spellings can be useful for maintaining consistency with passports and international identity records.
