Steps to Get Your Documents Notarised

Getting your corporate documents notarised involves several steps. While the process may vary depending on the document type, here are the general steps: Choose a reputable notary public: It’s essential to find a reputable notary public recognised and authorised by the SAL. Alternatively, you may seek recommendations from your trusted source. Schedule an appointment: Once you have found your preferred notary public, schedule an appointment. Be sure to plan ahead, as some documents may require extra preparation time. Bring your original documents: During the meeting with the Notary public, ensure you bring the original documents that need notarisation. Produce identification: Present any form of identification, such as an identity card and a driver’s licence, for identification verification. Sign documents: The Notary public will witness your signature and, if required, administer an oath or affirmation. Pay the fee: After signing the documents, you must pay the notary public and SAL for authentication fees. Receive your notarised document: After the Notary Public issues the official seal or a notarial certificate, ensure that the SAL authenticates your documents. Once authenticated, they can be used internationally.

Documents Required for Notary Public Services in Singapore

Documents intended for international use must be notarised in Singapore to confirm their authenticity and credibility. For startups or established businesses engaged in international business transactions, key documents often requiring notarisation include:
  • Articles of Incorporation
  • Partnership Agreements
  • Non-Disclosure Agreement
  • Intellectual Property
Notarising these documents is crucial when conducting business internationally to ensure that contracts and agreements are legally sound and binding. Failure to get your corporate documents notarised when required may lead to serious consequences, such as cancellation of important transactions and legal disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Notary Public in Singapore is an appointed legal practitioner authorised by the Board of Commissioners for Oaths and Notaries Public to authenticate and legalise sensitive documents for recognition and overseas use. The notary public also administers oaths and affirmations, witnesses the signing of documents, certifies true copies of documents, and verifies the identities of signatories.

You will need a Notary Public for a business document, such as contracts or incorporation papers, when sending them overseas or when signature verification and witnessing are required. This helps prevent fraud and ensures all parties sign the legal documents willingly.

While notarisation and certification involve verifying the authenticity of documents, they differ in scope and the level of verification. A Notary Public handles notarisation by verifying signatories’ identity and willingness to sign the documents. On the other hand, certifications, issued by relevant authorities such as a Notary Public, confirm that the documents are true copies and verify their compliance with specific standards.
