Certified Translation Services in Singapore — ICA & MOM Accepted

This is a certified translation service built for Singapore's official processes. We translate personal, academic, legal, and business documents into English, and every file is accepted by all Singapore authorities. Our clients are PR and citizenship applicants, work pass holders, students, and business owners who need paperwork that authorities will accept without delay.

Our certified translator Singapore team has handled ICA, MOM, IRAS, MOE, and LTA cases for more than 10 years. We know exactly what each authority checks before they stamp an approval, because we have seen the pattern thousands of times.

We regularly translate birth certificates, marriage certificates, education certificates, employment letters, bank statements, and legal documents such as court orders and power of attorney. Our translators work across 200 or more languages, including Chinese, Malay, Tamil, Arabic, and Tagalog. Whatever the document type or language pair, your translation is prepared in the exact format the receiving authority expects.

Every file passes through a real, qualified linguist — never software, never a rough guess from a bilingual friend. If your last translation was rejected somewhere else, we will fix it properly this time. All documents are handled under strict confidentiality and comply fully with Singapore's PDPA rules.

Certified Translation Pricing in Singapore — Clear and Simple

Pricing depends on the document category, since each type needs a different level of care. Below is a full breakdown of our document translation service Singapore rates, the mandatory government fees, and what can push the price higher.

Starting Price by Document Category (Per Page)

Document Category Examples Starting Price Why This Price
Personal Documents Birth certificate, marriage certificate, driving licence, passport S$30 – S$38 / page Standard format, so it's the most affordable category.
Academic Documents Degree certificate, college transcript, mark sheet S$40 – S$45 / page Grades, subjects, and technical terms need careful, precise wording.
Financial Documents Bank statements, tax papers, salary slips, audit reports S$45 – S$60 / page Numbers, tables, and accounting terminology require extra care.
Legal Documents Court orders, agreements, contracts, power of attorney S$68 – S$88 / page Complex legal clauses demand 100% accuracy, with zero room for error.

Mandatory Government & Legal Fees

If you are submitting to ICA, MOM, or a Singapore court, translation alone is not enough. These government and legal fees apply on top, separately from the translation fee:

Fee Amount When It Applies
Notarial Certificate (Notary Fee) S$75 per document Fixed government rate, required for notarized translation.
SAL Apostille Authentication S$86.40 – S$87.20 per document Official Singapore Academy of Law fee, needed for ICA and overseas submissions.
Full package estimate: Booking translation, notarization, and SAL authentication together as one package usually costs S$200 to S$350 in total. Booking each step separately with different providers often costs more.

What Can Increase the Price

Factor Impact on Price
Rare or uncommon language (e.g. European or African languages) Base price can rise to S$50 – S$120 / page
Urgent, express delivery (4 to 24 hours) 30% to 60% extra charge

Not sure which category your document falls under, or whether you need notarization and SAL authentication? Send it to us first, and we will tell you exactly what applies before you pay anything.

Hire Your Certified Translator Singapore — Accurate and Trusted

Our translators are native speakers who know legal terms and exactly what ICA, MOM, and IRAS check for. Every file is handled by a real person, then checked, certified, and formatted before it reaches you. When you need certified translation Singapore authorities will accept without delay, this is what that looks like. No machine translation. No guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Translation in Singapore

Yes. We are a certified translation agency that works with ICA cases every day, and our translations are prepared in the exact format ICA expects for PR, citizenship, and Long-Term Visit Pass submissions. Every file carries a signed certification statement, a stamp, and the translator's details, so it goes in ready to be accepted the first time.

It's a simple three-step process. First, you send us your document — a phone photo works fine. Second, a qualified human translator prepares the translation and adds the certification statement, stamp, and signature. Third, we deliver the finished official document translation to you by email or courier, ready to submit to ICA, MOM, or whichever office you need. Every step follows the exact format Singapore authorities look for.

Our document translation service Singapore rates depend on the document category. Personal documents start from S$30–38 per page, academic documents from S$40–45, financial documents from S$45–60, and legal documents from S$68–88, since legal wording needs the highest accuracy. Notarization (S$75) and SAL authentication (S$86.40–87.20) are separate government fees if your document needs them. We always confirm the exact price before you pay anything.

We would gently push back on "cheapest" as the right question to ask. A translation priced too low often skips the certification format authorities need, and that leads to rejection and paying twice. What you actually want is a professional translation company with fair, transparent pricing — ours starts from S$30 per page for personal documents, with the full certification included and nothing added later.

Certified Translation Service Singapore does. As a translation service provider Singapore clients turn to for urgent cases, we offer same-day delivery for most standard documents when you send them to us early in the day. Just mention your deadline when you contact us, and we'll confirm if same-day is possible for your specific document.

Yes. Once your translation is complete, we email you the signed and stamped digital copy straightaway, and most Singapore authorities accept this for initial submission. As a translation company in Singapore, we also offer courier or registered post if you need a physical hard copy for your records.

No, you don't need to visit us in person. A clear phone photo or scan of your original document is enough for us to start. We'll let you know within minutes if the image quality needs improving. You only need to arrange a hard copy later if the receiving authority specifically asks for one.

No. ICA requires every certified document translation services submission to carry a proper certification stamp and signature from the translator or agency. A translation without a stamp is treated as uncertified and will be rejected outright, no matter how accurate the wording is. This is one of the most common reasons documents get sent back.

For most standard documents — birth certificates, marriage certificates, education records — our certified translation service Singapore delivers within 1 to 2 working days. If your deadline is tight, we offer same-day translation for most document types. Larger files or complex legal documents take a little longer. We'll always confirm the exact timeline before you confirm the order.

Yes, we can send a hard copy of your certified translation to any Singapore address via courier or registered post. If you only need a digital copy, we'll email the signed and stamped version to you — most authorities accept this for initial submission. You can choose whichever option suits you.

A normal translation is just the converted text — nothing more. A certified translation includes an official statement from the translator or agency confirming the translation is accurate and complete, along with a stamp and signature. Authorities like ICA, MOM, and MOE only accept certified translations for official submissions. If you submit an uncertified translation, it will be rejected outright.

In most cases, yes. A clear phone photo works fine — as long as the text is readable and nothing is cut off at the edges. You don't need to visit a copy centre or use a scanner just to get started. We'll let you know right away if the image quality isn't clear enough, and we only need one shot per document page.

Usually yes — one certified copy can be submitted to multiple authorities. In some cases, separate certified copies with slightly different formatting are needed depending on which authority it's going to. We check this for you before finalising the translation, so you don't end up paying twice or submitting the wrong version.

Yes — we re-translate rejected documents all the time. Most rejections happen because the certification statement was missing, the format was wrong, or the file was clearly machine-translated. Whatever the earlier translation agency Singapore used got wrong, we find it and fix it. If you have the rejection letter or email from ICA, send it along with your document, and we will make sure everything is right the second time.

A certified translation includes the translated document plus a signed statement from a qualified translator confirming its accuracy. This is accepted by ICA, MOM, MOE, and most Singapore government offices for standard submissions.

A notarized translation goes one step further — it includes certification by a Notary Public (a licensed lawyer) who verifies both the translation and the translator's credentials. Notarization is typically required for court submissions, certain overseas documents, and some legal filings. From October 2019, documents notarized for ICA must also be authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL).

Not sure which one you need? Send us your document and tell us where it's going — we'll advise you straightaway.

SAL authentication refers to verification by the Singapore Academy of Law. Since October 2019, all notarized documents submitted to ICA must also be authenticated by the SAL before they can be accepted. This is an additional step after the Notary Public has certified the document.

SAL authentication is also required for documents that will be used internationally — for overseas courts, foreign embassies, or international legal proceedings. If you need apostille services or legalisation for use outside Singapore, that typically involves SAL as well.

We can handle the full process — certified translation, notarization, and SAL authentication — as part of a single coordinated service. Just tell us what the document is for when you contact us.

For a PR application submitted to ICA, any document that is not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. At Certified Translation Service Singapore, the most commonly required documents we handle include:
  • Birth certificate (your own, spouse's, or children's)
  • Marriage or divorce certificate
  • Educational certificates and transcripts (degree, diploma, secondary school)
  • Employment letters and salary records
  • Passport or national identity card
  • Police clearance certificates from your home country
The exact list depends on your PR application type (PTS scheme, professional scheme, etc.). If you're unsure what needs to be translated, send us your document list and we'll go through it with you before you order.
