Translation Bureau in Naruja

A translation bureau for Naruja - TARGMANEBI's service for a town where one family lives in three countries: a parent in Athens or Milan, the child in Naruja with the grandmother, sometimes the other parent somewhere else again. These families need a combination of documents that an ordinary "certificate translation" does not cover: a guardianship act that lets the grandmother act on the child's behalf; a consent written by the other parent from another country; a school certificate that a foreign school has to understand; a vaccination card that a foreign paediatrician will ask for.

We handle that package as one order, not as separate documents. The child's name, date of birth and the parents' details go into every paper in exactly the same spelling, the apostilles are placed in a single visit, and the courier comes once - to Naruja or Ozurgeti. The photos are sent by whoever has the document in hand: the grandmother from Naruja, the parent from abroad.

A child joins a parent - the full package

When a child goes to a parent living abroad, three authorities need documents: the border, the school and the doctor. Each has its own list:

The vaccination card is a special document: vaccine names, doses and dates have to be carried over in international notation so that a foreign paediatrician can compare the schedule with their own without re-checking everything. This is done by a translator with a medical background, who verifies the international names of the vaccines separately. In school certificates, the grade, subjects and grading system are translated using the receiving country's terminology - the Georgian "7th grade" does not match a Greek or Italian school stage one to one, and the translation explains that.

Guardianship and custody - grandparents' documents

When the parents are abroad, the grandmother or grandfather does a great deal on the child's behalf: enrols them at school, takes them to the doctor, applies for a passport, opens a bank account. For that they need either a notarized power of attorney from the parents or an official guardianship act. The parent's power of attorney is drawn up abroad, before a local notary or at a Georgian consulate, gets an apostille and is translated into Georgian - that is our part. In the opposite direction, when the grandmother takes the child abroad or deals with an authority there, her guardianship document, ID and the certificates proving the family relationship are translated into the foreign language with an apostille.

Alongside guardianship, questions of child support and social benefits often come up too: an income statement from the parent abroad for a Georgian court, or a Georgian court decision for a foreign authority that assigns child benefit to the parent. These are legal documents, with notarization and apostille, and they are handled by a translator with a legal background - the terms for guardianship, custody and parental rights carry different content in different countries and cannot be translated word for word.

A child comes back - the opposite direction

The second scenario is common too: a child has studied abroad for several years and comes back to Naruja, or was born abroad and is starting at a Georgian school for the first time. In that case the foreign school certificates, report cards, vaccination card and birth certificate are translated into Georgian with notarization - for the Ministry of Education, the school and the polyclinic. It is the school that decides which Georgian grade matches the foreign school stage; in the translation we keep every detail so that this decision is easy to make.

With a returning child, one thing is worth bearing in mind: foreign schools often issue documents only electronically, without a school stamp. A Georgian school and the education resource centre will as a rule accept such a document if the translation fully reproduces its electronic source and the issuing school's details - we point this out separately in the translation.

Languages in orders from Naruja

The geography of children's documents follows the geography of their parents: Greek and Italian come first, German and Polish for the countries where younger parents work, English for international schools and universal documents. Papers of children born abroad and now back home are often in Russian, Ukrainian or Turkish; we have also worked with Spanish, French, Czech, Dutch, Arabic and Chinese schools, although from Naruja that is rare.

School documents have one nuance that is often missed: a foreign school records the child's name in the form it first saw in the translation, and then keeps that form for years - right up to the school-leaving certificate. So the transliteration in the very first certificate has to match the child's passport exactly, even if the child does not have a passport yet - in that case we use the Latin spelling from the parent's passport and agree it with you when you place the order.

How a child's package is prepared from Naruja

A child's package is five to eight documents, and ordering them together costs far less than ordering them one by one: one courier, one apostille visit, one invoice. The price is set by the language, the number of pages and the procedures involved and is agreed after we see the documents; there is no surcharge for ordering from Naruja. The full package with apostilles is usually ready within a week; if it is urgent, call us. The child's diagnosis, school marks and family circumstances are known only to the translator working on the order and the responsible manager - TARGMANEBI operates in the name of the sole trader Mariam Zumadze (ID 30601010853), who has a legal education and understands well how much correct terminology matters in guardianship matters. A confirmed error is corrected free of charge.
