Countries that have not joined the Hague Apostille Convention still require full legalisation. For a Singapore document this usually means notarisation by a Notary Public, authentication by the Singapore Academy of Law, and a final legalisation stamp from the destination country's embassy or consulate in Singapore. Some embassies also require a certified translation or legalisation of the translation itself.
Each embassy sets its own document list, forms, opening hours and processing times, and these change often. We keep track of those rules, prepare the paperwork, queue at the counters for you and follow up until the document is back in your hands — for personal files as well as commercial documents such as invoices, certificates of origin and company records.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an apostille and legalisation?
An apostille is a single certificate recognised by all Apostille Convention countries. Legalisation is the older multi-step process — notary, Singapore Academy of Law and then the embassy — that non-member countries still require.
How long does embassy legalisation take?
It depends on the embassy. Some process documents within a few working days; others take two weeks or more and have limited counter hours. We give you a realistic timeline for your destination with your quote.
Do I have to go to the embassy myself?
In most cases no. We submit and collect documents on your behalf. A few embassies require the applicant in person for certain documents; we tell you in advance if that applies.
