What does it mean to have something notarized/certified true copy and when is it needed?
Clients use our notarized/certified true copy translation service whenever they need their official documents translated and certified for submission to government agencies like ICA, MOM, ROM, HDB and bank or insurance purposes etc in Singapore.
Notarization/Certified true copy can only be done by a notary public/commissioner, who is generally a lawyer or attorney-at-law that has practiced law for at least twelve (12) years. A Notary Public/Commissioner acts as an impartial officer. He or she certifies documents by witnessing, authenticating and certifying the execution of documents. The role of a Notary Public/Commissioner in Singapore is to prevent fraud and to ensure that the person who executes the document does it on his or her freewill.
Having a document notarized/certified true copy is the same as swearing under oath in a court of law. When a person signs a declaration, document or translation certificate before a Notary Public/Commissioner in Singapore, he or she is saying that the facts contained in the document are true.
Not all documents require notarization/certified true copy, but many do. For instance, banks, financial institutions, and government agencies often require documents to be notarized/certified true copy.
ICA’s current requirement for all ICA matters:
Translation(s) used must all be:
1. Notarized by a local notary public or
2. Certified true copy by a local commissioner or
3. Endorsed or processed by your country embassy/high commission in Singapore.
More information can be found at Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore
