Pricing
Our prices are per step and already include the Singapore government fee for that step. Embassy fees are passed on at cost, and you see every line in your written quote before you pay.
Price list
You only pay for the steps your document needs. A Singapore government record usually skips the notary, while a private document starts with our partner Notary Public.

Price factors
Two people legalising the same type of document can pay different amounts. These are the points that change your total, so you can estimate it before you ask for a quote.
| Factor | How it affects your price | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Who issued the document | Singapore government records such as marriage or birth certificates usually go straight to SAL. Private papers like degrees, letters and company documents need our partner Notary Public first. | Government record: S$200 for SAL. Private degree: S$80 + S$200. |
| Destination country | Apostille Convention countries need only the SAL apostille. Other countries add an embassy step, and each embassy sets its own fee. | China or India: apostille only. UAE or Qatar: plus the embassy fee at cost. |
| Type of notarial act | Witnessing a signature, issuing a notarial certificate and executing company papers are priced differently. | S$80 witnessing, S$110 certificate, S$170 company execution. |
| Number of documents and sets | Notary and SAL charges apply per document, so each extra document or extra original set adds its own steps. | Two degrees for one country: two SAL fees. |
| Original or certified copy | If you want to keep your original, a certified true copy is made first and that copy is legalised instead. | Copy S$90, or S$130 with a notarial seal. |
| Translation | Some embassies and ministries ask for a certified translation, priced by page count and language pair. | Arabic translation for a UAE file: quoted per page. |
| Your deadline | Priority handling to meet a visa, court or job date is quoted with your date. | Standard timing: no extra charge. |
| Where you are and where it goes | Clients overseas courier the original to us, and we return it by tracked courier at cost. | Singapore collection: free. Courier to London: at cost. |
Steps in the destination country, such as a foreign ministry stamp after arrival, are not part of our price. We tell you if your country needs one.
Worked examples
Common requests, priced from the list above. Your own quote shows the same breakdown for your documents.
Clear terms
No surprise charges. This is what sits inside our step prices, and what is quoted separately.
Paying for legalisation
Simple rules, set out before you commit.
Work starts only after you approve the written quote.
Pay by bank transfer, PayNow, credit card or debit card. Our fees and the embassy fee are paid together, shown on separate lines.
Once our partner Notary Public starts on your document, the order cannot be cancelled. Change your plan before that, for example to translation only, and we refund the part you no longer need. SAL and embassy fees cannot be refunded once submitted.
