Singapore
Destination Guide
Singapore joined the Hague Apostille Convention in March 2021, making apostille the correct certification for Korean documents submitted to Singaporean authorities — replacing the previous consular legalization process. Whether you are applying for an Employment Pass, S Pass, permanent residence with ICA, or registering a marriage at the Registry of Marriages, your Korean documents must be apostilled by MOFA and accompanied by a certified English translation. Our specialists handle the full process from document retrieval to delivery.
Step-by-step instructions for each Korean document you need apostilled for Singapore.
Did Singapore join the Hague Convention? Do I need an apostille or consular legalization?
Singapore joined the Hague Apostille Convention on March 16, 2021. Apostille is now the correct certification for Korean documents used in Singapore — consular legalization at the Singapore Embassy in Seoul is no longer required.
What Korean documents do I need apostilled for a Singapore Employment Pass (EP)?
MOM typically requires apostilled Korean academic degree certificates and transcripts, plus an apostilled criminal background check, all with certified English translations. The exact set depends on your profession and the EP application category.
What Korean documents are needed for Singapore permanent residence (PR)?
ICA PR applications typically require apostilled Korean civil documents including birth certificate and family register, with certified English translations. Employment and academic documents may also be required depending on the PR scheme.
