What a notary costs in Singapore: fixed fees and SAL authentication

Updated 4 November 2026

A notary in Singapore charges fixed statutory fees: a notarial certificate at S$75 per document, plus the SAL authentication of S$87.20 including GST, which the Singapore Academy of Law charges for the apostille. A one-page document therefore comes to about S$172.20 in total, so ask for a current quote on BlaBlaPrice before you book.

Fixed by law, so compare the total

Notary fees in Singapore are set by the Notaries Public Rules, so the statutory part of the bill should be the same from one notary to the next. What changes the total is the number of documents, pages, signatures and parties, so give those numbers when you ask for an offer and ask for the total in S$, including GST.

Authentication for documents used abroad

If the document will be used overseas, ask whether it needs the SAL authentication, also called an apostille. It is charged on top of the notarial certificate, so budget for both fees before you book the visit.

No seasonal peak, but plan around the rain

Singapore is hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter, so notary work runs steadily through the year rather than peaking in one season. Heavy downpours can make travel to an office harder, so pick a date and time that suits everyone who must sign.

What to put in your request

Name the notarial act you need, the subject of the document, how many documents and pages there are, and how many signatories and parties are involved. Say whether you want an office visit or a call-out, your city or area such as Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, the date you need it by, and your budget in S$.
