Certify True Copy Service Singapore

The process of getting a certified true copy is notarising and/or legalising documents which might otherwise need to be used for ICA submission. These processes informally come under the heading “certified” copies because they indicate that all parties involved have seen proof beyond doubt as opposed for example, just signatures on paper or manually entered data alone.

Certified copies are different from simple photocopies in that they require the intervention of a Notary Public or other authorised person to certify that the copy is a “true copy” of the original document.

The Notary Public will sight the original document and certify that it is a “true copy” of the original. The Notation “Certified to be a true copy of the original seen by me” or words to that effect, together with the Notary Public’s name, signature and official seal will be stamped on each page of the copy.

To certify a document as a “true copy”, certain steps have to be carried out by the Notary Public:

• The Notary Public must sight the original document;
• The person who presents the document to the Notary Public for certification must swear an Oath or make an Affirmation before the Notary Public that the document is a “true copy” of the original;
• The Notary Public will then sign and stamp on each page of the copy of the document with his/her official seal

If you are going to use the document outside of Singapore, you will need to get it legalised. To legalize a document means to certify that the Notary Public’s signature and official seal on the copy of the document is genuine. This is done by the Embassy or High Commission of the country where the document is going to be used. They will affix their official seal on the document to certify the Notary Public’s signature and official seal.

We are an established translation company in Singapore with many years of experience in handling ICA documents. We offer a one-stop service for the certification of true copies for ICA purposes.

Notarisation and/or legalisation is the formal procedure of proving that documents are genuine copies.

When you need to authenticate or execute a document, notary publics are the professionals for your needs. A certified legal professional with experience in Singaporean law will handle all aspects of certification from start-to-finish - certification as a genuine copy of an original document through execution on behalf parties involved at any level!

We will first certify that the document is an accurate copy of the original. The notary public will then add their signature, date and official seal to the document. This makes the document binding in a court of law.

It's a broad category that covers many services, some of the services offered by us are as follows:

• Certifying that a copy of a document is a true copy of the original
• Executing documents on behalf of parties involved
• Attesting signatures on documents
• Witnessing signatures on documents
• Legalisation

Once your documents have been notarised, we will then move on to the legalisation process. The final step is to have your documents authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Document issued by Government) or by Singapore Academy of Law (Document that is NOT issued by Government).

They will affix its official stamp on your document, which is also known as an apostille. This certifies that the document has been legally executed and is now ready to be used for ICA submission.

For documents that are not in English, we will also provide a sworn translation service. This is where the document is first translated into English by a professional translator. The translator will then certify that the translation is an accurate and true representation of the original document.
