Certify a Degree Certificate in Singapore
Universities and employers abroad rarely accept a photocopy, and you cannot post the original. A certified true copy is what solves that, and you keep the certificate itself.
Universities and employers abroad rarely accept a photocopy, and most will not accept the original either, because you need to keep it. What they want is a certified true copy: the notary compares the copy against the original and certifies that it matches.
You keep the original
Bring the original to the appointment and take it home again. Only the certified copy leaves with the document chain.
Transcripts are usually separate
A degree certificate and an academic transcript are two documents, and each is certified separately. Where a transcript runs to several pages, the fee is charged per page after the first, so it is worth checking with the receiving institution whether they need the full transcript or only the final page.
For visa and immigration use
Immigration authorities are often stricter than employers about the chain that follows notarisation. Several require an apostille, and some require legalisation at their embassy in Singapore even where an apostille would normally suffice. Check what the specific authority asks for before you start, and tell us, because the order the steps are done in matters.
How we help
How we help
Certify the copy against your original
You bring the original, we compare and certify, you take the original home. Only the certified copy travels.
Advise on what the receiving body actually needs
Employers, universities and immigration authorities ask for different things, and immigration is usually the strictest. Knowing which you are dealing with changes the chain.
Handle transcripts as well as certificates
They are separate documents and charged separately, and a long transcript is charged per page. It is often worth asking the recipient whether they need all of it.
Arrange translation where it is needed
Where the destination works in another language, the translation may itself need certifying. Better raised at the start than discovered at an embassy counter.
