An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Singapore that means Singapore’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Singapore, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Singapore issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.

Typical requests from Singapore concern employment passes, company formation and banking. Singapore joined in 2021; English documents are accepted without translation.

Authority fee: SGD $10.70 (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Where an apostille from Singapore is not enough

No Contracting State has an objection in force against Singapore: the apostille is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries (UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq …) still require consular legalisation.

Apostille in Singapore: questions

Under Article 6 of the Convention Singapore has designated: Singapore Academy of Law. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.

In every other Contracting State – no objection is in force against Singapore. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.

The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: SGD $10.70. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.

The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in English, Chinese, or Malay; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.

The Convention has been in force for Singapore since September 16, 2021.
