Applying for PR, registering a marriage, or submitting academic records to a Singapore authority? Your foreign-language documents will need a certified translation Singapore authorities actually accept, not a Google Translate printout. Here's what it costs, how it works, and how long it takes.
Who needs certified translation in Singapore?
Certified translation is most commonly required by individuals dealing with ICA for PR and citizenship applications, MOM for work pass and marriage documents, the courts, universities, and banks. Businesses need it too, for contracts, incorporation papers, and cross-border agreements. If the original is not in English, an uncertified translation simply will not be accepted.
How much does certified translation cost in Singapore?
A certified translation Singapore service typically charges S$30 to S$50 per page, depending on language pair, document complexity, and urgency. If notarised translation Singapore is also required, expect an added fee, since it involves a licensed notary public and, in some cases, authentication by the Singapore Academy of Law.
What is the certified translation process?
- Submit a clear scan or photo of your document.
- Receive a quote with price and delivery date.
- A qualified translator completes the work and signs a certification statement.
- You get your certified copy, with softcopy by email and hardcopy if notarised.
How long does it take?
Standard single-page documents are usually ready within 24 to 48 hours. Same-day service is often available for urgent cases, while multi-page or technical documents may take a few extra days.
