Since the ratification of the Hague Apostille Convention (on 1 October 2020), documents related to Singapore companies can be apostilled for official recognition in other Convention member countries. An apostille certifies the authenticity of a document, making it suitable for use abroad.
We provide document apostille and legalization services in Singapore, covering all necessary steps: notarization, apostille through the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL), and legalization at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore (MFA). Our comprehensive approach ensures fast and accurate processing of documents in accordance with international requirements.
