Notary Public Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to get your documents legally verified for international use through notary public services in Singapore.

Notary public services provide a way to have your documents legally verified so they can be recognized and used in other countries.

Who it's for

This service is for any individual who needs to authenticate their documents for use abroad.

What you get

You receive legal verification for your documents, ensuring they are recognized as authentic when presented to authorities or institutions in an international setting.

What it costs you

There are no fixed government fees listed here; instead, you will pay service fees charged by the private law firms that provide the notarization.

The catch to know

Getting a document notarized is often only the first step. In many cases, your documents will still require further authentication by the Singapore Academy of Law after the initial notarization is complete.

How to apply

  1. Identify the documents you need to have authenticated.
  2. Locate a private law firm that provides notary public services.
  3. Schedule an appointment to present your documents for notarization.
  4. Confirm if your documents require additional authentication from the Singapore Academy of Law.
