What signature attestation actually does
"Signing on the line" isn't enough. When an overseas party asks for a document "signed before a Notary Public," four things must be proven โ and that's exactly what our notary certifies.
Confirms identity
The notary verifies you are who you say you are, against your original passport or NRIC.
Confirms it's voluntary
You signed of your own free will โ no pressure, no duress.
Confirms understanding
You knew what the document was before you put pen to paper.
Creates overseas recognition
The notarial certificate & official seal make the signature valid abroad.
Only an appointed Notary Public can attest โ and here's why
Notaries are appointed under the Notaries Public Act and regulated by the Singapore Academy of Law. That official standing is exactly what foreign authorities check โ which is why the wrong certifier gets your document rejected.
โ Authorised to attest for overseas use
- An appointed Notary Public โ a senior advocate & solicitor, gazetted under the Notaries Public Act.
- Issues the notarial certificate & official seal recognised abroad.
- Whose signature is then authenticated / apostilled by the SAL.
โ Cannot attest for overseas use
- A Commissioner for Oaths โ only for documents used within Singapore.
- A general lawyer or clerk who hasn't been appointed as a Notary Public.
- Yourself, a friend or an employer witnessing the signature.

We attest your signature in 200+ languages
Many notaries won't explain your document. We provide interpreter support so you sign with complete confidence โ an essential part of a valid attestation.
Why the language matters
Valid attestation
Understanding the document is part of what the notary must confirm โ so language is not optional.
No surprises
You know exactly what you're committing to before you sign a single line.
Confidence for families
Elderly or non-English-speaking signers are fully supported and never rushed.
Accepted abroad
A properly understood, witnessed signature holds up when it reaches the overseas authority.
The mistakes that get a signature rejected
Each one means a wasted trip or a blown deadline. A 30-second WhatsApp pre-check with us avoids all of them.
Signing beforehand
The notary must witness the signing itself โ a pre-signed document is usually rejected.
Name doesn't match ID
If the document name differs from your passport or NRIC, it can't be attested until corrected.
Wrong certifier
A Commissioner for Oaths or non-notary lawyer's stamp is rejected for overseas use.
Skipping the apostille
A witnessed signature often still needs SAL authentication or apostille to be accepted abroad.

Why our attestation is trusted here and abroad
Signatures witnessed, deadlines saved
Rated 4.9/5 by 180+ clients across Google and WhatsApp.
They pre-checked my Power of Attorney on WhatsApp, spotted a name mismatch before I came in, and had it witnessed and apostilled the same day. Saved me a wasted trip to the office โ highly recommended.
Needed a contract executed before a notary urgently. Signed in minutes and they handled the SAL apostille for me. Fast, clear, no hidden costs.
English isn't my first language and the notary patiently made sure I understood every line before I signed. They even came to my mother's home to witness her signature. Professional, kind and accepted overseas without any issue โ thank you!
Whatever you searched, you're in the right place
We're the notary Singaporeans, expats and businesses turn to for signature attestation and notary witnessing โ however you phrase it.
Your questions, clearly answered
Yes. For signature attestation the notary must witness you actually signing, so please don't sign beforehand. Bring the document unsigned unless we've specifically advised otherwise for your case.
The witnessing itself takes just a few minutes once your identity is verified. With SAL apostille, most documents are ready the same or next working day. Same-day service is available for urgent deadlines.
Witnessing a signature is a regulated S$40 per signer, plus a compulsory S$75 notarial certificate and, for overseas use, the statutory S$87.20 SAL apostille โ typically from about S$162.20 all-in per document. Add-ons like translation, mobile visit or courier are quoted separately. All prices are confirmed upfront.
Bring your original photo ID (passport or NRIC) matching the document, the document itself unsigned, details of the destination country, and โ for company signings โ proof of your authority such as a board resolution. Don't sign anything before you meet the notary.
A Commissioner for Oaths (their stamp is only valid for documents used within Singapore), a general lawyer or clerk who hasn't been appointed as a Notary Public, and of course a friend, colleague or employer. For overseas use you need an appointed Notary Public.
Don't pre-sign, make sure your name matches your ID exactly, produce original identification, use a Notary Public (not a Commissioner for Oaths) for overseas documents, and don't skip the SAL apostille. Send us a photo first and we'll flag any issue for free before you travel.
Yes. We provide interpreter support in over 200 languages so you fully understand the document before you sign โ which is an essential part of a valid attestation.
Yes. Our mobile notary can attest your signature at your home, office or a hospital anywhere in Singapore, including evenings and weekends by appointment โ ideal for elderly or unwell signatories and urgent corporate signings.
Singapore notarisation requires you to attend in person so the notary can verify your identity and witness the signing โ it can't be done by video call. If you're abroad, you'd use a notary in your own country; when you're back in Singapore we can handle it the same day.
Attesting a signature is about witnessing you sign a document. A certified true copy confirms a photocopy matches an original. Different acts, different certificates โ tell us what your overseas recipient asked for and we'll confirm which you need.
You can visit our office in the Suntec City CBD (7 Temasek Boulevard, Suntec Tower One), a short walk from Esplanade, Promenade and City Hall MRT. If that's not convenient, our mobile notary comes to your home, office or hospital anywhere in Singapore โ so there's effectively always a notary near you.
You can start the whole thing online โ send your document on WhatsApp for a free pre-check and quote. However, under Singapore law the notary must witness your signature in person, so remote video notarisation isn't permitted for the signing itself. We make the in-person step as fast as possible with same-day and mobile at-home appointments.
Just WhatsApp us with your document and deadline. We keep same-day and urgent after-hours slots for time-sensitive matters, witness and seal your signature, and can fast-track the SAL apostille โ often ready the same or next working day.
Look for an appointed Notary Public (not just any lawyer), transparent regulated fees, fast WhatsApp communication and genuine reviews. We've served individuals, expats and businesses since 2013 with a 4.9/5 rating from 180+ clients, free pre-checks and same-day, multilingual, mobile service โ which is why clients rate us so highly for signature attestation.
Witnessing a signature is a fixed, regulated S$40 per signer โ the same at every Singapore notary โ plus a S$75 notarial certificate and, for overseas use, the S$87.20 SAL apostille. A typical single document is from about S$162.20 all-in. You should never be charged a "premium" on the regulated notary fee itself.
Get your signature attested โ the right way
Send us a photo of your document and the country it's for. We'll pre-check it free, confirm a fixed price, and get it witnessed and apostilled โ usually replying within 30 minutes.
