There is a practical reason to look at a sample before ordering. An official translation is compared side by side with the original by the person receiving it - a consular officer, a registrar, an admissions clerk. If the translation looks nothing like the original, questions follow, even when the text itself is perfect.
So look at three things in every sample below: whether the structure matches, whether every stamp and signature is accounted for, and whether the numbers are where you expect them. Those are also the three things our editor checks before delivery.
Personal and civil documents
The most frequently translated group. Note how tables keep their shape and how stamps are marked rather than omitted.
Birth certificate
Names, dates, numbers and stamps in the structure of the original.
Passport
The Latin spelling of the name is the reference point for every other document in a package.
Criminal record certificate
The issuing authority, the date and the validity period, which most recipients check first.
Educational documents
A diploma is short; its supplement is where the real work is. Subjects, hours and grades stay in the original system - converting them is the receiving university's job, never the translator's.
Transcript of grades
A dense table kept as a table, with grades in the original scale.
Employment certificate
Position, salary and dates, the three fields consulates verify.
Legal, financial and technical
This is where a specialist translator and a compulsory editing pass matter most, because an error here does not read as an error.
Contract
Clauses, definitions and cross-references kept aligned with the original numbering.
Registry extract
Cadastral codes, areas and encumbrances checked digit by digit.
Technical specification
Tolerances and units, where a single wrong figure changes the meaning.
Court document
Party names and case numbers held identical across the whole file.
Medical
Doses, units and reference ranges are compared against the original one by one. A medical document never leaves without the editing pass.
Medical certificate
Diagnosis, prescriptions and reference ranges alongside the results.
Certified forms
These two samples answer the question people ask most often: what does the finished package actually look like when a notary or an apostille is involved.
Notarized translation
Shows how the translation and the notarial part sit together in one bound package.
Apostilled document
Shows the apostille stamp itself rendered inside the translation, which is why the apostille must come first.
The apostilled sample is worth studying if you are sending documents abroad. The apostille is itself a block of text that becomes part of the document, so it has to be translated too. That is the whole reason the apostille goes on the original before the translation is made - a point explained in full under notarization or apostille.
How to read a sample - and check your own translation
You can verify these four things yourself, without knowing the target language. They are the same four an editor checks here.
1. Count the pages and the stamps. The translation must have as many pages as the original, and every stamp must be accounted for. If the original has something on the reverse, it must appear in the translation. 2. Compare every figure. Dates, document numbers, personal numbers, amounts, areas. This is the part you can check in any language, and it is where the most expensive mistakes happen. 3. Check the name against the passport. Letter by letter. If you have several documents, all of them must use the same form. 4. Look at the shape. A table in the original should be a table in the translation. A two-page document should not become one page of continuous text.The full procedure is described under quality control.
Why these samples are safe to publish
Every sample here has been anonymised: names, personal numbers, addresses, account numbers and any other identifying data have been removed or replaced. No document belongs to an identifiable person, and nothing was published without that treatment.
This matters because our own confidentiality policy says that a client's document is seen only by the people working on it. Publishing a real client document as a marketing sample would contradict that, whatever the commercial appeal.
What the samples do show is the format: structure, how stamps and signatures are handled, how the certified parts are assembled. That is the useful part, and it survives anonymisation intact.
From sample to your own document
Find the closest type above
The samples are grouped by document type rather than by language, because the format is what differs between them, not the wording.
Send us your document
A photo or PDF by email to info@targmanebi.ge or by WhatsApp. Photograph it flat, with all four corners and every stamp visible.
Tell us who will receive it
A consulate, a university, a bank, an employer or a Georgian authority. That decides whether the bureau stamp is enough, or whether notarization or an apostille is required.
Check the delivery against the sample
When the finished translation arrives, run the four checks above. If anything looks wrong, write to us - a confirmed error is corrected free of charge.
Have a document of a type not shown here? Send us a photo and we will tell you the format, the price and the deadline. Consultation is free.

Are these real client documents?
They are real in format but not in content. Every identifying detail - names, personal numbers, addresses, account numbers - has been removed or replaced before publication. No sample can be traced to a person. Publishing an untreated client document would contradict our own confidentiality policy.
Why do stamps appear as text rather than images?
Because a translation renders what a document says, including what its stamps say. A reproduced image of a stamp would be meaningless to a foreign official who cannot read Georgian, and in some contexts reproducing a seal graphically is inappropriate. The convention is to mark the position of each stamp and translate its text.
My document type is not in the list. Do you translate it?
Almost certainly yes - these sixteen are the most frequently requested types, not the whole range. In practice we work on everything from vaccination records to arbitration files and tender documentation. Send a photo and we will tell you the format and the deadline.
Can I get my translation in the same layout I see here?
That is the standard output, yes. Where a document has an unusual structure we keep as close to the original as the target language allows. If the recipient has a specific format requirement - some consulates and courts do - send us their instruction and we will follow it exactly.
Why does the apostilled sample look different from the notarized one?
Because they certify different things. Notarization confirms the translator's signature and is attached to the translation. An apostille belongs to the original document and confirms that its seal is genuine, which is why it appears inside the translated text rather than beside it. The two are often needed together.
Do the samples show the bureau stamp version too?
The bureau-stamped version is the same translation without the notarial pages - the difference is only in what is attached at the end. If you want to see that form specifically before ordering, ask and we will show you an anonymised example of it as well.
