How Much Does an SAL Apostille Cost in Singapore?
An SAL apostille on a Singapore government document costs SGD 10.70 per document (including GST), paid to the Singapore Academy of Law. A private document must be notarised first, which adds a SGD 75 notarial certificate and a SGD 87.20 SAL authentication fee. Our service fee is added on top and agreed before you pay.
