公证和认证服务

As Singapore is also a signatory state of the Apostille Convention, Chinese documents affixed with the Apostille will not require legalisation by the Singapore Embassy and Consulates-General in China, before their use in Singapore.

[Note: As part of the transition process, the Embassy and Consulates-General will continue to legalise Chinese documents not issued with the Apostille, until 30 Nov 2023.] 

新加坡是海牙公约的签署国，送往新加坡使用的中国文件在附上附加证明书后即可送往新加坡使用，不再需要办理新加坡使/领馆的领事认证。

[注：2023年12月1日前为过渡阶段，驻华使领馆将继续办理领事认证。]

Singapore documents to be used in China 新加坡文件送往中国使用

You are advised to check with the requesting authority in China if they require the documents to be legalised/apostilled. The Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) is Singapore's designated Competent Authority for the legalisation/apostillation of documents in Singapore for overseas use. To obtain the Apostille for your Singapore document to be used in China:

请先与在中国的文件接收机构确认是否需要办理领事认证或者附加证明书。新加坡法律学会负责办理新加坡出具的送往海外使用的文件的认证和附加证明书。若新加坡文件需要办理附加证明书：

1. Your document should first be notarised by a Notary Public (any law firm offering notarial services), or certified by a relevant authority (e.g., by a Chamber of Commerce for commercial documents)

   • [Note: This step does not apply to documents issued by Singapore Government Authorities.] 非新加坡政府出具的文件先需经过公证处（例如律所）公证，或经有关部门认证（例如在商会认证与商业有关的文件）。

2. Submit an online request for legalisation on the SAL’s website and make payment online. Thereafter, you or your proxy will need to present your document to SAL at their office.  在新加坡法律学会（以下简称学会）官方网站在线提交认证需求，并在线付款后，您或者您的代理人可将文件带到学会办公室办理。

如果您有文件（如：在新买卖房产文件、在新法律授权文件、新加坡公积金局、建屋局的文件等）需要您本人出席于领事官员前签字，请提前至少1个工作日在 https://go.gov.sg/chengdu-appointment 进行预约。预约成功后会有工作人员致电通知您，按照要求携带以下文件前往领馆见证签字：
