Greek Alphabet Transliteration
Greek uses its own 24-letter alphabet requiring systematic romanization. Multiple transliteration systems exist — Γεώργιος can become "Georgios," "Yiorgos," or "George." Consistent, standard romanization is critical.

Why Greek Documents Need Specialized Translators
Our Greek translators are native speakers who understand the Ληξιαρχείο civil registry system, the ΚΕΠΙ document formats, and Greek municipal (Δήμος) administrative conventions. They handle both Modern Greek (Δημοτική) and older Katharevousa documents, accurately transliterate Greek names according to ELOT 743 standards, and navigate the EU multilingual document formats Greece uses as an EU member.
From a Greek ληξιαρχική πράξη γέννησης for USCIS to diplomas from the University of Athens for WES evaluation, our Greek team delivers certified translations with proper script conversion and handling of both modern and historical document formats.

Why Greek Translation Requires Expertise
Greek presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Katharevousa vs. Demotic
Pre-1976 Greek documents used Katharevousa (formal/archaic Greek) with vocabulary and grammar significantly different from modern Demotic Greek. Translators must handle both forms.
Name Declension
Greek names change form with grammatical case — "Παπαδόπουλος" (nominative) becomes "Παπαδοπούλου" (genitive). Translators must identify the nominative form for legal documents.
EU Multilingual Formats
As an EU member, Greece issues both national and EU multilingual documents. Translators handle both formats including Greek text in EU-standard templates.
Machine vs. Professional Translation
See why Google Translate and AI tools can't replace certified human translators for legal documents. A single mistranslated term can delay your case or invalidate your filing.
Translation Quality Comparison — Greek Legal Text
Same source sentence — different approaches
Source (Greek)
“Βεβαιώνεται ότι τα παραπάνω στοιχεία είναι σύμφωνα με τα τηρούμενα στο Ληξιαρχείο.”
Machine TranslationInaccurate
“It is confirmed that the above elements are in accordance with those maintained in the Registry.”
"Elements" should be "particulars"; "maintained in" should be "recorded in"
Professional TranslationLegally Accurate
“It is hereby certified that the foregoing particulars conform to the records held in the Civil Registry.”
"Βεβαιώνεται" rendered as "It is hereby certified" — proper Greek legal certification; "Ληξιαρχείο" = "Civil Registry"

Certified & Notarized Greek Translation for Immigration
USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Greek translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Certified Translation
Every Greek translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
Notarized Translation
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Greek translations with same-day availability.
Apostille Services
For Greek documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
