Singapore Academy of Law authentication

From 1 October 2019 onwards, all notarised documents must also be authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL). Authentication will be done on the spot at the SAL counter at:

Singapore Academy of Law
1 Coleman Street #08-06
The Adelphi
Singapore 179803

Operating hours: Mondays to Fridays, 9am to 4.30pm

SAL charges an authentication fee of $85.60 per notarial certificate. The notary public will collect this fee from you before issuing you the notarial certificate.

After the notary public has notarised your document and issued you the notarial certificate, head over to the SAL counter to have your document authenticated.

Example of How Notarial Fees are Calculated

For example, if you need to get a certified true copy of one page of your passport, the total fee will be:

$10 (to certify one page of your passport as true copy) + $75 (for the issuance of the notarial certificate) + $85.60 (for authentication of the certified true copy at SAL) = $170.60.
