Certified Marriage Certificate translation
Marriage Certificate translation in Singapore
Officially certified and accepted by the authorities that matter in Singapore.
A marriage certificate is a key supporting document whenever family relationships must be proven in Singapore β most commonly for permanent residence and dependant's pass applications through the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), and for family-related passes through the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). If your marriage certificate was issued in a language other than English, the receiving authority requires a certified English translation; an uncertified translation is not accepted.
Singapore does not have sworn or court-appointed translators. A translation is accepted when it is a certified translation produced by a professional translation company with a signed statement of accuracy. Where ICA, MOM, the Registry of Marriages (ROM), or a foreign embassy requires stronger authentication, the certified translation is notarised by a Notary Public and, for use abroad, authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) and legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
Translife produces certified marriage certificate translation for the Singapore market from our Singapore office. Every translation is completed by a qualified human linguist, reviewed by a second linguist, and issued with our certification statement, official stamp, and signature. Spouse names, dates, place of marriage, and registration details are reproduced faithfully so the authority can verify the translation against the original.
