CERTIFIED TRANSLATION SERVICES SINGAPORE

Notarisation is the process of identifying & declaring the authenticity of the translated document. This process is performed by a notary public officer who is an appointed representative by the Board of Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries Public, Singapore.

During the notary process, the notary public witnesses the translation document performed by Wordsburg and declares the same by issuing a Notarial Certificate, Notary Public Seal, Notary Public Stamp & Signature.

Upon notarisation, the documents have to be mandatorily authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL). Our representative will bring the notarised documents to the Singapore Academy of Law. SAL officer will validate the notary certificate and authenticate by placing a sticker on the backside of it.

Notary & SAL service is mandatory for authorities like the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) or the Ministry of Foreign affairs. Refer to the instructions provided by the receiving authority websites or checklist documents and decide whether you need a notary.

Our certified translation is acceptable to most of the authorities in Singapore & Overseas.
