Requirements
For a successful application with ICA, you need to follow the requirements listed by ICA. One such necessary step is translating non-English documents.
Please follow the below steps if you are an owner of non-English documents:
1. Get Certified Translation from a private translation company
2. Notarisation of the Certified Translation Documents.
3. Singapore Academy of Law Authentication
Our ICA Certified Translation Service offers all three steps. If you engage us, we will provide the certified translation service with Notary & SAL Authentication.
*Published information is sourced from the ICA website [As of 30 August 2020]. There may be more requirements which you need to fulfil. We can help with every need. Please confirm the requirements with authorities
Our Certification
As a first step of the ICA Document Translation process, all non-English documents require a Professional English Translation. As a certified translation company, we will translate & certify the translation documents.
Our certification comes with the translation printed on the company’s letterhead, stamp & representative signature. Along with a translation page, we will also include a copy of the original as a source document reference.
The certified document translation is sufficient for most government or private institutions. But not for ICA.
ICA Translation Service – For ICA submission, you need certification from Notary Public Office in Singapore.
That’s mandatory.
Next: Notarisation
Notarial Certificate
For ICA submission, the certified translation documents have to be notarised by a notary public office.
On your behalf, we will bring the certified document translation to the Notary Public Office. As part of notarial services, the notary public physically witnesses the certified translation copies. Notary office will issue a notarial certificate with the seal, chop & signature.
Next Step: SAL Authentication
SAL Certification Seal
From Oct 1, 2019, Singapore Academy of Law has issued new rules for the notarised documents. All notaries issued in Singapore are liable to a mandatory authentication by the SAL.
Our representative will bring the notarised translation documents to the SAL Office. SAL officers will verify the authenticity of notarisation and authenticate them.
As part of authentication, the SAL office will issue a sticker & certification seal confirming the authenticity of Notarial Certificate.
Upon completion of the 3 steps, your documents are ready to submit to ICA for PR Application or Citizenship or any other ICA purposes.
