For companies and directors
Corporate Document Notarisation & Apostille — Without Pulling Your Directors Out of Work
When a Singapore company needs its documents accepted abroad, we bring a notary to your office for your directors, then take everything through the Singapore Academy of Law and, where needed, the embassy. You get one fixed quote, one contact person and one invoice.
When companies need legalised documents
Opening a subsidiary or branch abroad
The foreign registry wants proof the Singapore parent exists and who can act for it.
Overseas bank account or KYC
Good standing, incumbency and certified director IDs.
Foreign tenders and contracts
Company documents and an authorisation letter, often embassy-legalised.
Distributors, agents and local managers
Agreements and corporate powers of attorney.
Corporate POADirector changes and restructuring
Resolutions and updated records for foreign regulators and banks.
Company documents we notarise and apostille
| Document | Usual route |
|---|---|
| Board or shareholder resolution | Director signs before the notary, or notary certifies a signed copy → SAL |
| Certificate of incorporation | Certified copy or ACRA extract → SAL |
| Certificate of good standing | ACRA document → SAL (e-Apostille where available) |
| Certificate of incumbency / officer status | Notary verifies against company records → SAL |
| ACRA business profile | ACRA document → SAL (e-Apostille where available) |
| Constitution (M&AA) | Certified copy → SAL |
| Company authorisation letter | Director signs before the notary → SAL |
| Commercial, agency and distribution agreements | Signatories sign before the notary → SAL |
For countries outside the Apostille Convention, such as the UAE, each document then goes to the embassy. Embassy attestation.
Several signatories, one sitting at your office
When three directors need to sign, finding a time they can all visit a law office is often the slowest part. We bring the notary to your boardroom at a time that fits your calendar, including early mornings, evenings and weekends. Each signer brings ID; the notary also needs to see that the signer is authorised to act for the company.
ACRA documents: direct e-Apostille or the notary route
ACRA documents issued in the OpenAttestation digital format from 4 March 2023 can be apostilled electronically by SAL without a notary. Older or printed documents go through a notary first. Some foreign recipients still want paper; we check what yours accepts before choosing the route.
A retainer for recurring company work
Monthly retainer
For regional holding companies, family offices and fund managers with regular overseas paperwork: priority notary slots, one monthly invoice, volume pricing and a named contact.
