Singapore Certificate Attestation

Step 1: Document Notarization

The first step is to have your documents notarized by a qualified notary public in Singapore. The notary public will verify the authenticity of the documents and provide an endorsement or a notarial certificate.

Step 2: Authentication by the Singapore Academy of Law

After notarization, you must authenticate the documents through the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL). SAL is responsible for verifying the signature and seal of the notary public.
You can process the attestation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore if an Apostille legalization in Singapore is optional.

If the country of purpose is a member of the Hague Convention (Apostille countries), like the UK, USA, Australia, France, Switzerland, Spain, etc., Singapore Apostille legalization alone will be accepted and recognized for any legal purposes.

Step 3: UAE Embassy Attestation

Once SAL authenticates the documents, you must begin the legalization process at the UAE Consulate in Singapore. You must submit the certified documents to the embassy for further verification. The embassy will verify the authenticity of the documents and provide the necessary legal or consular stamp. This is the final legalization you need in Singapore.

Step 4: MOFA Dubai Attestation

After the documents are legalized by the Embassy of UAE in Singapore, they need to be attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This step involves submitting the legalized documents to UAE MOFA through a courier or an authorized service provider like Benchmark Attestation Services. MOFA UAE will verify the authenticity of the documents and provide the final attestation.
