Quick answer

Where Will Your Statutory Declaration Be Used?

A statutory declaration in Singapore is a written statement of facts that you declare to be true before an authorised officer. For use in Singapore it is made before a Commissioner for Oaths; for use overseas it is made before a Notary Public, and SAL can then authenticate it and attach an apostille.

In Singapore — for a Singapore agency, court, employer or school → the declaration is made before a Commissioner for Oaths in Singapore. No apostille needed.

Overseas — for a foreign embassy, bank, university or registry → the declaration is made before a Notary Public, then SAL authenticates the notarial certificate and attaches an apostille. Non-Hague countries such as the UAE or Malaysia also need embassy attestation in Singapore.

Why Statutory Declarations Get Rejected

Sworn before the wrong officer

A declaration witnessed by a Commissioner for Oaths is for Singapore use. For overseas use you need a Notary Public, plus SAL authentication and an apostille if the recipient needs it legalised. We confirm the destination before you sign.

Vague or incomplete wording

"I am single" may not be enough if the recipient wants your full name, ID numbers and the period covered. We ask for the recipient's checklist and draft to it.

Names don't match your ID

Your name and passport or NRIC number must appear exactly as on your ID. For a name discrepancy, we list every version clearly in the declaration.

Signed in advance

The declarant must sign in front of the officer after identity verification. Bring it unsigned.

Not in English

SAL needs documents in English or bilingual (including English). If the recipient needs another language, we arrange translation and apostille in the right order.

Statutory Declaration Singapore — FAQs

Who can witness a statutory declaration in Singapore?

For use in Singapore, a Commissioner for Oaths. For use overseas, a Notary Public, whose notarial certificate SAL can then authenticate and apostille.

How do I make a single status statutory declaration for marriage overseas?

We draft it with your full name, ID details and marital status as the recipient requires, you sign it before a Notary Public, and we obtain the SAL apostille — plus embassy attestation for non-Hague countries.

Can I make a statutory declaration for a lost document?

Yes. The declaration states what was lost, when and how, and that you no longer have it. Bring any copy or reference number you still have.

What is a name discrepancy declaration?

A statutory declaration confirming that two or more spellings of a name belong to the same person. It can be used for passport, property or bank matters overseas.

What's the difference between an affidavit and a statutory declaration in Singapore?

Both are sworn or affirmed statements of fact. An affidavit is used in court proceedings, while a statutory declaration is used for other official purposes.

Does a statutory declaration need an apostille?

Only if it will be used overseas and the recipient needs it legalised: SAL adds an apostille, and non-Hague countries also need embassy attestation. For Singapore use, no apostille is needed.

How much does a statutory declaration cost in Singapore?

For overseas use, statutory fees are SGD 40 for signature witnessing or SGD 75 for a notarial certificate, plus SGD 87.20 for SAL authentication. Our fee starts from SGD 229 per document, quoted all-in upfront.
