Police clearance translation in Singapore, certified for visa and work-pass use.
We translate and certify Singapore Certificates of Clearance and overseas police-clearance certificates for work-pass, visa, professional licensing and immigration applications. The issuing authority, reference number, validity period and any stated exclusions are all preserved so the reviewing officer can verify the translation against the original. As a law firm with notaries public and commissioners for oaths in-house, we can also notarise the translation and arrange an apostille where the receiving authority requires it, all in one place.
What we need
A clear scan or photo of the certificate. If it carries a QR code or barcode for verification, make sure that is legible in the scan.
What you get
A certified PDF translation bearing our stamp and signature on each page. Reference numbers, issuing authority, validity dates and any conditional language are retained in format for quick verification. Printed copies couriered within Singapore on request.
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 second appointment.
Typical turnaround
Usually 2 to 3 working days. Urgent visa filings can often be accommodated when you flag the deadline at the enquiry stage.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need notarisation on top of the certified translation?
- It depends on the receiving authority. MOM typically accepts a certified translation without further notarisation. Some foreign visa authorities and licensing bodies ask for a notarised or apostilled translation. Because we are a law firm with notaries in-house, we can arrange both here. Tell us the destination and we will flag what is needed.
- I have a police clearance from China, the Philippines, India or Indonesia. Can you handle these?
- Yes. We translate police-clearance certificates from all major source countries into English. The translator assigned to the job is a native speaker with a background in legal documents.
- My clearance is only valid for a few months. Does the translation carry the same validity?
- The translation reflects exactly what the original says, including any validity window, so it is tied to the same expiry as the original. Plan your submission accordingly, or request a fresh clearance if the original has lapsed.
