Did you marry in another country and now need your marriage paper in English? Our marriage certificate translation with a notary seal gives offices in Singapore a clear English version they can read. A skilled translator works on your certificate. Then a Notary Public registered with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) signs it.
Your marriage certificate links two people. It shows both your names, the day you married and where it happened. Offices use it when one spouse applies for a pass, for PR or to marry again. That is why we treat both names with the same care.
We handle marriage papers in over 200 languages, from Chinese red booklets to Indonesian Buku Nikah. A normal job takes 2 to 3 working days. Our express service can finish it in 24 hours.
We email you a soft copy to check. The hard copy comes by courier anywhere in Singapore, or you can pick it up at Suntec Tower One. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, PayNow or PayLah, and your quote is free.

Marriage Certificate Translation Quote
Your marriage certificate opens many doors in Singapore, and each office has its own reason to see it. Below are the places that most often ask for a notarised translation of your marriage certificate, with one tip for each.
MOM needs proof that you are legally married before it gives your spouse a pass. For papers not in English, MOM asks you to upload the original and the English translation together as one file.
Before you upload
When the spouse of a Singaporean or PR applies for PR, ICA looks at the marriage paper. Tip: send the full certificate, not only the page with your photo.
Before you upload
Foreign spouses often apply for an LTVP through ICA. Tip: many couples order the birth and marriage translations together, so names are spelled the same on both.
Before you upload
ROMM asks for foreign papers that are not in English or Malay to be translated into English. Tip: ROMM also wants originals or true copies, so keep your originals ready.
Before you go
If you were married before, ROM may ask about your last marriage and how it ended. Papers in some languages need an English translation. Tip: read the ROM checklist for your own case.
Before you go
Moving overseas with your spouse? The other country may want your Singapore marriage certificate in its own language, with an apostille. Tip: ask that office which language it wants first.

Tell Us Where It Is GoingMarriage records come in many shapes. Some are small books. Some are one line in a family register. ICA often asks for papers like these when a spouse applies, as our page on translation and notarisation for ICA explains. Here are types we often prepare as a notary public translation of a marriage record.
Each spouse holds one; we translate the steel seal over the photo and the certificate number.
The marriage shows as an entry in the family record, so we translate the full page for context.
Japanese marriages are filed at the city office; we keep the office name and filing date exact.
This record lists past and present marriages, so we translate every entry on it.
A small book from the KUA office for Muslim couples; the husband and wife each get one.
We keep Vietnamese names with their accents and match them to both passports.
Thai dates use the Buddhist year, so we add the matching normal year in brackets.
Often in Hindi, Tamil or another state language; we translate every part not in English.
German marriage records may show name changes; we translate every name line with care.
Offices read a marriage paper to see who married whom, when and where. Getting those facts right is the main job of a Singapore notarised translation agency like ours. In each notarised marriage record translation, these parts get extra checks.
Both names are spelled the way each person's passport spells them.
We write the date in clear day, month and year order, so it cannot be misread.
The town, district and office names stay in the same order as the original.
Words like single, divorced or widowed are translated exactly, since offices read them closely.
Every name and signature line is shown, even when it is hard to read.
The number is copied exactly, and each seal is described in brackets.
MOM says you may use a translation service for papers not in English. ICA lists a notarised translation as one accepted way. Rules can change, so please check the latest checklist on mom.gov.sg or ica.gov.sg.
Each marriage certificate notarisation follows the same four steps. If an overseas office also wants SAL's stamp, read about translations notarised before SAL authentication.
Hire Notarized TranslatorScan or photograph every page of your marriage paper. For a booklet, include the cover, the photo page and any stamp pages. Add both passport copies if you can. In the message box, write who will read it, like MOM, ICA or ROM. This helps us pick the right format and spell both names correctly from day one.
We read your file and send a free quote with a clear delivery date. If the booklet has pages that look blank, or a seal we cannot read, we ask about it now. Once you agree, you pay online with Visa, Mastercard, PayNow or PayLah. Your translator then starts work on your marriage paper without delay.
Your translator writes the English version and keeps the layout close to the original. A checker then compares both spouses' names, the dates and the certificate number with the source. We then share the name spellings with you, so you can confirm them. After that, a SAL-registered Notary Public signs the notarial certificate and seals the full set.
You get a soft copy by email, ready to look over. The sealed hard copy is couriered to your home or office in Singapore, or you can collect it at Suntec Tower One. Most marriage papers are done in 2 to 3 working days. If an office asks us to change the translation, we do it for free.
Get Your Marriage Certificate Translated
Many couples in Singapore come from two different countries. So we often get marriage papers in Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, Vietnamese, Thai, Tagalog, Burmese, Japanese and Korean. Each marriage paper translated and notarised by us goes to a translator who reads that language well.
Some papers mix two languages, like a Thai certificate with an English stamp. We translate all of it. If your marriage paper is headed for an overseas office, our team can also prepare notarised translations for MFA use.
