The Consulate processes requests for notarial services on documents intended for use in Singapore. We do not generally perform notarial functions on document which will be used in a country other than Singapore, unless it is a requirement by the local authorities.

Legalisation of Document

You are advised to check with the requesting authority in Singapore if they require the document(s) to be legalised.

For People's Republic of China documents to be used in Singapore, the legalisation process would be:

  1. The document has to be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China if it is issued by a government department.
  2. The document has to be legalised by a local notary public if it is issued by a non-government department before it can be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China 
  3. The document has to be legalised by the Singapore Consulate in Xiamen.

  You are advised to approach the local notary public to understand the procedures and the costs for the legalisation of People's Republic of China documents to be used in Singapore.
