Get Your Malaysian Documents Notarised for ICA, MOM & Other Singapore Agencies

A certified translation is signed by the translator confirming accuracy. A notarised translation goes further — a Singapore Notary Public (a senior lawyer) verifies the translator’s identity and witnesses the signature under oath. ICA and most Singapore government agencies require notarised translations, not just certified ones, for official submissions.

Notarised translation for Malaysian documents costs SGD 150 per document. This flat fee covers translation, notarisation by a Notary Public. There are no hidden fees, so you always know the exact cost upfront. We guarantee acceptance by Singapore authorities.

SAL authentication is a mandatory step where the Singapore Academy of Law verifies the Notary Public’s signature. Since 1 October 2019, all notarised documents submitted to ICA must be SAL-authenticated to be valid. ICA also accepts documents notarised in the the country of origin e.g a Malaysian SPM cert notarised in Malaysia.

Malaysian documents commonly required as notarised translations for ICA PR applications include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, death certificates, SPM and academic certificates, Borang K, EPF statements, and bank statements. Every stamp, seal, and handwritten note on the original must also be translated to avoid rejection.
