Certified true copy of Document by Notary Public with Official Stamp (with or without Seal)  is the most common Notarial Service. Documents to be certified includes Passport, Educational Certificates, Identity Cards, Passport, Bank Statement, Utilities Bills (eg. Singtel).

Certified True Copy (without Seal) is the more common of the 2 services (without Seal or with Seal). However, please check with the Foreign Agency requesting the document if in doubt.

Certified True Copy (with Seal) is similar to the service of the Certified True Copy (without Seal), but is less common. If in doubt as to which of the 2 services (without Seal or with Seal) you require, you may wish to select the one “Without Seal”.

Declaration

Prior to our certification, we may require you to sign our declaration form declaring the authenticity of the document(s) produced for cerification.

Disclaimer Stamp

For certain certification, such as educational certificates, letters, and bank statements, the cerificate is based on visual inspection of the original document produced and reported to us as genuine and original, and we will stamp our usual “Disclaimer” on the document.

The “Disclaimer” stamp will, amongst others, state that our Notary Public is unable endorse or verify as to the truth, accuracy, legality or otherwise in respect of the contents of the document or the purposes for which it is used, and person relying should verify the authenticity with the issuing authority/entity.

Our Notary Public reserves his right not to perform any notarial service and is not obliged to give any reason.

Photocopies

You should make your own photocopies from the original documents and bring the originals and the copies to our office for certification. If you require us to make copies, we will charge according to the Law Society Recomended rates.

At all times, we reserve the right not to certify any document if the original is not produced, or for any reason our Notary Public deems fit.
