Apostille for Singapore — for EP/S Pass work visa applications, PR submissions to ICA, Registry of Marriages civil registration, and academic credential recognition. Singapore joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 16 March 2021, so Korean MOFA apostilles are directly accepted without embassy legalization.
Is Singapore a Hague Convention member?
Yes. Singapore acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention effective 16 March 2021. Korean MOFA apostilles are directly accepted by Singapore government agencies without additional embassy legalization.
What Korean documents are most commonly apostilled for Singapore?
The most common are: (1) Criminal background checks (범죄경력조회서) for MOM EP/S Pass applications, (2) Birth and family registry certificates (기본증명서, 가족관계증명서) for ICA PR/citizenship, (3) Degree certificates and academic transcripts for NUS/NTU/SMU admissions, (4) Marriage certificates (혼인관계증명서) for Registry of Marriages.
Does Singapore require a certified English translation alongside the apostille?
Yes for non-English documents. MOM, ICA, and ROM require certified English translations of Korean documents. Our experts provide apostille plus certified English translation as a bundled service.
