Translation And Notarisation Cost Questions
What are translation services rates in Singapore per page?
Common languages such as Chinese and Malay start from S$25 per page. Japanese, Korean and most European languages start from S$30 to S$40 per page. Rare languages cost more because fewer specialist translators work in them.
Is the quote fixed before I pay?
Yes. We send one fixed price and a delivery date before any work starts. Once you accept it, the price does not change, even if the translation takes us longer.
Is there an extra fee for urgent translation?
Yes. Same-day express adds 50% to the translation fee. Standard delivery for most documents is 1 to 2 working days. Notarisation and SAL steps follow their own office hours.
Do I pay before or after I get the quote?
You get a fixed quote first, free of charge. You pay only after you accept it, and the price does not change once accepted.
How much does courier delivery of the hard copy cost?
Courier delivery within Singapore starts from S$15. You can also collect the hard copy from our Suntec office by appointment, or get a soft copy by email if a printed copy is not needed.
Why does notarisation cost more than the translation?
Notarisation has two official fees: the notary public's fee and the Singapore Academy of Law authentication fee of S$87.20 per document. We pass these on at cost with a small handling fee, so the notarised total starts from S$162.20 per document.
