How it works

How Document Legalisation Works in Singapore

Getting a Singapore document accepted abroad follows a set order. Here is what you do, what we do and what you receive at each stage, from your first message to the legalised document in your hands.

The Questions That Decide Your Legalisation Route

Before anything is stamped, these answers tell us which path your document takes. We work them out with you from a single scan.

Where will it be used?

Apostille Convention countries accept an SAL apostille. Other countries need embassy legalisation after SAL.

Who issued it?

Singapore government records usually go straight to SAL. Private papers and copies need our partner Notary Public first.

Does it need a translation?

If the receiving office asks for one, we confirm whether it goes before or after the stamps.
