Quick answer

What Is Sri Lanka High Commission Attestation in Singapore?

Sri Lanka High Commission attestation in Singapore is the chain that prepares a Singapore document for use in Sri Lanka: notarisation by a Notary Public where the document needs it, legalisation by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL), and then attestation by the High Commission of Sri Lanka in Singapore. Sri Lanka is a non-Hague country, so the SAL apostille certificate is followed by the high commission step. SAL is the only authority that legalises Singapore documents for overseas use.

Singapore public documents SAL can verify — ICA birth certificates and ROM marriage certificates SAL can check, MOE-letterhead certificates, degrees from NUS, NTU, SMU, SIT, SUSS and SUTD — go straight to SAL. Private documents, affidavits, powers of attorney and private-school certificates need a Notary Public first.

Why Documents for Sri Lanka Get Delayed

Only the apostille was done

For Sri Lanka, the high commission step follows SAL. We plan every step of the chain of legalisation together.

Laminated certificates

SAL cannot apostille a laminated document. We arrange a fresh extract, or an SAL-made copy if the recipient accepts copies.

Handwritten names on older birth certificates

SAL has to verify them. We tell you whether a new ICA extract is the faster route.

A Sinhala or Tamil translation requested

If the office in Sri Lanka asks for a translation, we arrange translation and apostille in the same order — confirm with the recipient.

Unclear high commission requirements

We confirm the high commission's current requirements, and whether we can submit on your behalf, when we quote.

Sri Lanka High Commission Attestation — FAQs

Does Sri Lanka accept an apostille from Singapore?

Sri Lanka is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (HCCH status table, 30 June 2026). Your Singapore document needs the SAL apostille and then attestation by the High Commission of Sri Lanka in Singapore. The receiving authority may also require further steps in Sri Lanka — confirm with them.

How do I attest a Singapore birth certificate for Sri Lanka?

If SAL can verify the birth certificate, it goes straight to SAL and then to the Sri Lanka High Commission. If it is laminated or has details SAL cannot verify, we arrange a fresh ICA extract or notarisation first.

How do I attest a Singapore marriage certificate for Sri Lanka?

A ROM marriage certificate that SAL can verify goes to SAL for the apostille, then to the high commission. We check it from a photo and confirm the route before you pay.

How much does Sri Lanka High Commission attestation cost in Singapore?

SAL charges SGD 10.70 per document it can verify directly; notarised documents carry a SGD 75 notarial certificate and SGD 87.20 SAL authentication. The high commission fee is charged at cost. You get one all-in quote.

How long does Sri Lanka High Commission attestation take in Singapore?

SAL's counter is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Our turnaround for the full chain is 5–10 working days, confirmed before you pay.

Do I need a Sinhala or Tamil translation?

Only if the office in Sri Lanka asks for one. If it does, we arrange the translation with the attestation — confirm with the recipient first.

Is the high commission the same as the Sri Lankan embassy?

Yes, for this purpose. Sri Lanka is represented in Singapore by a high commission, which carries out the consular legalisation step after SAL.

Are you the Singapore Academy of Law or the Sri Lanka High Commission?

No. We are an independent document service in Singapore that prepares your documents and takes them through the notary, SAL and high commission steps.
