The process takes approximately 5-7 working days. The lead time, however, is subject to change depending on the time taken by the respective embassy to endorse the documents.
Legalisation Service
Legalisation is the process of authenticating or certifying a legal document so a foreign country's legal system will recognise it as with full legal effect., ie it is the official attestation of the origin of a document. Therefore, a document executed in Singapore for use in Italy would be legalised by the Embassy of Italy in Singapore and a document executed in Italy for use in Singapore would be legalised by the Singapore Embassy in Italy.
Enston provides legelisation service for documents issued in Singapore for use overseas.
Listed below are the three
steps you need to take in order to get documents legalised in Singapore.
- Step 1 : Seek the advice of a Lawyer or Notary Public in Singapore to issue a notary certificate for the original document.
- Step 2 : Have the notarised document authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law.
- Step 3 : As the final step, have the document legalised at the Respective Embassy (e.g., Embassy of Italy in Singapore).
