Common Notarial & Legalisation Services
Choosing the Right Notary Near You
- Map your route: SAL’s Authentication Counter is at The Adelphi, 1 Coleman Street #08-06. Being near City Hall can speed up same-day SAL steps.
- Ask for the full flow & quote: Notary fee (varies by firm) + SAL authentication S$87.20 per Notarial Certificate + any embassy fees/courier.
- Check languages & hours: The Law Society listing shows languages and opening hours—useful if you need non-English support or after-work slots.
- Verify experience for corporate/multi-doc jobs: Firms that regularly handle board resolutions, bank KYC packs, and multi-country legalisation can save you time. (See each firm’s notary page.)
- Confirm if e-Apostille is applicable: Only certain public documents qualify; many private documents still require SAL authentication and/or consular legalisation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the difference between a Notary Public and a Commissioner for Oaths?
A: Notaries Public can notarise documents for use overseas and issue Notarial Certificates; Commissioners for Oaths generally administer oaths and take declarations for use in Singapore. (Use the Law Society page to find either.)
Q: Who can be appointed a Notary Public in Singapore?
A: Only practising advocates and solicitors with at least 7 years of practice may be appointed, per the Notaries Public Act.
Q: Do I always need SAL authentication after notarisation?
A: For private documents, yes—your Notary collects S$87.20 for SAL and issues the Notarial Certificate, then you proceed to SAL for authentication (or via firm’s courier).
Q: What about apostille?
A: From 2025, SAL offers e-Apostille for certain public documents; many private documents still require SAL authentication and possibly consular legalisation.
Q: Can this be done in one day?
A: Often yes—especially if your notary is near City Hall/SAL and your destination country doesn’t need extra consular steps. Always check the embassy’s cut-off times.
