Quick answer
Do You Need Pakistan High Commission Attestation in Singapore?
No. Since Pakistan joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 9 March 2023, an apostille for Pakistan from the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) replaces Pakistan High Commission attestation for Singapore documents. The SAL apostille is the final Singapore step — confirm with the receiving authority in Pakistan before you submit.
Singapore government documents SAL can verify — birth and marriage certificates, degrees from NUS, NTU and other local universities — go straight to SAL for SGD 10.70 each. Private documents, such as a power of attorney, need a Notary Public first. See our SAL apostille service in Singapore for the full process.

Why Documents for Pakistan Get Turned Away at SAL
Laminated originals
SAL cannot apostille a laminated document. We help you get a fresh extract, or SAL can apostille an SAL-made copy for SGD 11.77 if the recipient in Pakistan accepts copies.
Power of attorney signed at home
A POA for property or bank matters in Pakistan must be signed in front of a Notary Public before SAL can authenticate it. We arrange the signing and the SAL step together.
Private or international school certificates
SAL cannot verify these directly — they need notarisation first. MOE-letterhead certificates and local university degrees can go straight to SAL.
Digital certificates with a faulty QR code
The printout must match the online version exactly and the QR code must scan. We print, test and check before SAL.
