Certified True Copies in Singapore

Some documents you cannot part with and should not post. A certified true copy lets you send something an authority will accept while the original stays with you.

Some documents you cannot part with and should not post: a passport, a degree certificate, a company’s certificate of incorporation. A certified true copy solves that. The notary sees the original, compares the copy against it, and certifies that the two match.

You keep the original

Bring it, and take it home again. Only the certified copy goes anywhere.

Pages are counted

The fee is charged per page after the first, so a long transcript costs more than a single certificate. Where a receiving party only needs part of a document, it is worth asking them before certifying the whole thing.

Several documents at once

Each document is certified separately and charged separately. If you are preparing a bundle, send us the list beforehand and we will give you the total.

How we help

How we help

Compare and certify against the original

You bring the original, we certify the copy, you take the original away. That is the whole point of the exercise.

Tell you how many pages you actually need

The fee is per page after the first, so it is worth checking with the recipient whether they need the whole document before certifying all of it.

Handle a bundle and price it in advance

Each document is separate for fee purposes. Send us the list and you get the total before you come in.

Advise where the copy is going next

A certified copy heading overseas usually needs authentication afterwards, and sometimes an apostille. Better to know at the start.

Questions people ask

Do you keep my original?

No. It is compared against the copy in front of you and goes home with you.

Can you certify from a scan or a photograph?

The original has to be seen. Certifying that a copy is a true copy means comparing it against the actual document.

How is a multi-page document charged?

The first page at one rate and each page after at a lower one. A long transcript therefore costs meaningfully more than a single certificate.

Do I need to attend, or can someone bring the documents?

What matters is that the original is present. Where a signature is also being witnessed, the signatory has to attend in person.

Tell us what you need signed

Send the document and what it is for. We will tell you which officer it needs, what it costs, and when you can come in.
