Divorce certificate translation in Singapore, for remarriage, visa and name change.
We translate and certify divorce certificates, decree absolutes and court orders to the standard ICA, the Singapore courts and overseas registries expect for remarriage registration, spouse-visa applications, name changes on documentation, and overseas civil-registry updates. The legal register is preserved, with party names, court titles and reference numbers retained word for word. As a law firm with notaries public and commissioners for oaths in-house, we can also notarise the translation and arrange an apostille where your destination requires it, all from the same office.
What we need
A scan of the decree or certificate, including any court stamps and judge signatures. If you only have a photo, make sure stamps on the back are captured too.
What you get
A certified PDF translation bearing our stamp and signature on each page. Court titles, party names, jurisdictional language and reference numbers are retained so the receiving authority can match our translation against the original. Any attached custody, maintenance or property orders are handled as part of the same set.
Notarisation and apostille
Because we are a law firm, the certified translation can go straight to notarisation by our notary public and, for apostille countries, on to the Singapore Academy of Law. One firm, one process, no separate notary appointment.
Typical turnaround
Usually 2 to 3 working days for a standard certificate or decree. Longer court orders with property or custody schedules are quoted with a firm timeline based on total word count.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the notary notarise the document or the translation?
- Usually our notary public notarises the translator's signature on the certification page, attesting that it is genuine. If the receiving authority needs the original and translation notarised together, we prepare the bundle that way. Tell us which the destination expects and we will set it up correctly here.
- Can you translate a Chinese or Indonesian divorce decree?
- Yes. Mainland Chinese divorce decrees, Indonesian divorce certificates (Akta Cerai), and Malaysian, Thai, Korean and Japanese documents are all routine for us.
- My decree has several court orders attached. Do you translate those too?
- Yes. Custody, maintenance and property orders attached to the decree form part of the same set and are priced together by total word count. We format the translation so each order stays clearly identifiable.
