FAQs

iii) Notarises (or certifies) documents such as a contract or agreement for legal use in countries outside of Singapore
Notarisation serves to proof a document’s authenticity and that the person authorising or executing the document is doing so willingly and not under compulsion. Notarised documents are affixed with a notarial certificate issued by a Notary Public.
The estimated pricing for the various services is reflected in our service fees page.
The fees for notarial certificate ($75.00) and witnessing ($40.00) are fixed as stated in the First Schedule of the Notaries Public Rules. SAL authentication fees are also fixed at $85.60 per notarial certificate. Legalisation at SAL is at $10.70. This took effect from 20 January 2021, after SAL took over MFA's consulate function for legalisation.
It will take around 2 - 4 working days to get your documents notarised and then authenticated at SAL.

There is a three-fold process involved when it comes to documents legalised for overseas used. Here is the breakdown:
1) Original documents have to first be verified and notarised by a Notary Public. There are cases where this step may not be required (E.g. Documents issued by the Singapore government).
2) After the documents are notarised, the next stage will be compulsory authentication at the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL).
3) Lastly, the document will be submitted to the embassy/consulate of the country of intent (Eg. Embassy of the People's Republic of China) for further endorsement.
