Property Deed Translation, Notarised for Official Use

Own a home or land outside Singapore? A bank, court or land office here or abroad may not read the deed in its own language. Our notarised property deed translation puts it into clear English, or into the language another country needs. A Notary Public registered with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) then notarises the translation.

Title papers for homes in Singapore are already in English. So most of our deed work is for property in other countries, such as land titles from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, China, Indonesia and India. We also translate sale agreements, mortgage papers and land maps that go with them.

Deeds are full of numbers. Lot numbers, land areas, owner names and mortgage notes must match the source exactly. We keep land units as written, such as rai or tsubo, and we never drop a page because it looks less important.

Your title deed translation with a notary seal is usually ready in 2–3 working days, with express help in 24 hours for short deeds. You get a soft copy by email and a hard copy by courier in Singapore, or you can collect it at Suntec Tower One. We send a free quote first.

Who asks

Banks, Courts, Land Offices: Who Wants Your Notarised Deed?

A notarised translation of an overseas deed helps someone read who owns what. These six cases bring most deed jobs to us.

Most requested

Selling a home abroad from Singapore

You live here but sell or transfer a home in another country. The land office there may want papers in its own language, plus a POA signed before a notary.

Good to know

Divorce and shared assets

In a divorce, both sides list what they own, including homes abroad. A deed in another language usually needs an English translation the court can read.

Good to know

  • Full list of assets
  • Valuation report
  • Every page of the deed

Bank loan or proof of wealth

A bank in Singapore may ask you to prove you own property overseas. Check that the owner names on the deed match your passport.

Good to know

  • Owner names match
  • Recent title search
  • Bank's own checklist

Estates and inheritance

When someone passes away with land abroad, executors need to show what the estate owns. Translate the deed and the death certificate together.

Good to know

Stamp duty questions

Singapore stamp duty is for Singapore property. If a paper for a Singapore home is signed overseas, IRAS gives 30 days after it reaches Singapore to stamp it, so plan any translation early.

Good to know

Renting out a home abroad

A tenant, agent or local bank may ask for proof that you own the home. A clear English deed makes that easy to show.

Good to know

  • Tenancy agreement
  • Owner's ID
  • Property address check

Whatever the reason, our notarized translators in Singapore read the whole deed, not just the first page, before giving you a free quote for a notary-backed deed translation.

Chanote, Geran, Red Book: Deeds Translated Under Notary Seal

Every country prints its land titles in its own way. A land title translated and notarised by us keeps that layout. If the country is outside the Apostille Convention, you may also need embassy legalisation of property papers.

Thailand

Chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor)

A full title deed; parcel and survey numbers stay exact.

Malaysia

Geran Hakmilik

Lot, mukim and district names stay in Malay, with English in brackets.

Vietnam

Red Book (Sổ Đỏ)

A land use right paper; plot and map sheet numbers are kept.

China

Real Estate Title Certificate (不动产权证书)

The newer single title; we keep the certificate number.

Indonesia

Sertifikat Hak Milik (SHM)

A freehold title; the parcel ID and land map numbers stay exact.

India

Registered Sale Deed

Registration stamps and survey numbers are translated as shown.

Japan

Tōki Jikō Shōmeisho (登記事項証明書)

A land registry extract; owner history stays in order.

Taiwan

Building Ownership Certificate (建物所有權狀)

Floor areas and shares of common parts are kept as written.

France

Acte de Vente

A notary's deed of sale; the notary's name and deed date are kept.

Number by number

Lot Numbers, Owners, Areas: Matched in Notarised Deed Translations

One wrong digit can point to the wrong piece of land. Every property deed translated word for word under notary seal is checked on these six parts.

Owner names and ID numbers

Spelled as in each owner's passport, with shares of ownership kept.

Lot, parcel and plot numbers

Copied digit by digit, including any letters or slashes.

Land area and units

Units like rai, ngan or square metres stay as written in the deed.

Address and location names

District and village names are kept, with English added in brackets.

Mortgage and charge notes

Any loan or charge on the land is translated, even on back pages.

Registration stamps and dates

Every stamp, seal and date is shown in square brackets.

What gets a deed translation rejected

  • Land areas changed into other units with the original removed
  • Mortgage or charge notes left out
  • Only the front page translated

What we do for every deed

  • A legal translator who knows land terms
  • Notarisation by a SAL-registered Notary Public
  • A second check of every number on the deed
  • Free correction if the office asks for a change

Land offices and banks each set their own rules, and some want the translation joined to a certified copy of the title. Singapore stamp duty covers property in Singapore, as IRAS explains in its stamp duty pages. For tax papers, see our translations prepared for IRAS.

Scan, Quote, Translate, Seal: Property Deed Notarisation in Singapore

A notary public translation of a title deed takes four steps, and you can follow each one by email.

Hire Notarized Translator
  1. Step 1: Upload Every Page of the Deed

    Scan both sides of every page, including maps, stamps and back pages with loan notes. Tell us who will read the translation, such as a bank, court or land office, and in which language. If you also need a sale agreement or a POA translated, send them together, so the names and numbers match across all papers.

  2. Step 2: Read the Free Quote

    We look at every page and send a free quote with a delivery date. Long sale agreements may take a little longer, and we tell you that upfront. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, PayNow or PayLah. Work starts only after you agree. For short deeds, express help in 24 hours is possible when time is tight.

  3. Step 3: Translate, Check and Notarise

    A legal translator works line by line, and a second person checks every number, name and land unit against the source. Any unclear stamp is raised with you. Then comes notarising the translated deed, done by a SAL-registered Notary Public. If the deed is going to another country, we can arrange the SAL apostille for deeds sent abroad after the notary step.

  4. Step 4: Soft Copy, Then Courier

    You get a soft copy by email first, so you can check names and numbers. The hard copy goes by courier anywhere in Singapore, or you can collect it at Suntec Tower One. Most deed jobs are ready in 2–3 working days. If the office asks for a change to our translation, we fix it free of charge.

Thai Script to Hanzi: Title Deeds in Notarised English

We prepare a notarised English translation of a land title from over 200 languages. Deeds most often come to us in Thai, Malay, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia, Khmer, Japanese, Hindi and Tamil.

Some jobs go the other way. If you are selling a home abroad, the land office may want your Singapore papers in its own language. We also handle title papers translated with notarisation for that direction, and our notary translation ahead of SAL apostille covers the next step.

Case Notes Guiding Our Notarised Property Deed Translation Work

These guides and stories shape how we plan notarised translations of title deeds.

What Singapore Owners Ask Before Notarising an Overseas Deed

Yes. Maps and survey plans often carry labels, boundary notes and the names of neighbouring plots. We translate those labels, or describe them in brackets if they sit inside the drawing. Offices sometimes check that the map matches the lot number, so we never leave the back page out, even when it looks like just a picture.
We keep the units exactly as written in the deed, because the land office uses them. If you need square metres for a bank, we can add a short translator's note with the converted figure. That note is clearly marked, so nobody mixes it up with the official area shown on the title.
We do not advise it. Later pages often show mortgages, charges or changes of owner. If those pages are missing, a bank or court may think something is hidden and send the papers back. A full translation costs you less time in the end, because the reader sees the whole story of the land.
If the reader needs the whole agreement, yes. Long agreements often have schedules with the lot number, the price terms and the parties' details. For a notarised sale agreement translation, we check that those details match the title deed. Ask the reader first; sometimes they only need certain clauses, and we can quote for those.
A clear scan of every page is usually enough for the translation. Make sure stamps, seals and small print can be read. Some land offices want the translation joined to a certified copy of the title, or want to see the original. Please check with them first. If they do, bring the original to us at Suntec Tower One.
Yes. Anyone who holds the papers can order a translation. For estate use, it helps to translate the death certificate and any will at the same time, so the names match across all papers. The translation does not change who owns the land. That is decided by the probate or inheritance steps in that country.
Based on IRAS guidance, Singapore stamp duty is for property in Singapore. An agreement for a home in, say, Malaysia is not stamped here. The country where the home sits may have its own duty. Our translation does not change any tax, but it helps your lawyer or bank read the deed correctly.
Yes. IRAS says a property paper signed overseas should be stamped within 30 days after it reaches Singapore. If the paper is not in English, please send it to us as soon as it arrives, so the translation does not eat into that time. Your lawyer can confirm the exact stamp duty steps for your case.
Yes, and it saves time. The POA usually has to be signed in front of a notary, and it should name the land exactly as the deed does. When we handle both, we check that the lot number, address and owner names match. Then the land office abroad sees one clean, matching set.
Yes. We translate from English into the language that country uses, and the notary seals it here. Some countries, such as the UAE, are not in the Apostille Convention, so an embassy step may follow. Our page on notarised translation for MFA legalisation explains how that chain can work.
Each bank decides for itself, so we cannot promise. Many banks accept a notarized translation of a property deed, but some also want a recent title search from the land office. Ask your bank for its checklist before ordering. If the bank asks for a change to our wording, we fix it free.
Most deeds are ready in 2–3 working days. Long agreements, deeds with many owners, or poor scans can take a little longer. We give you a firm date in the quote, so there are no surprises. For short deeds, express help in 24 hours is possible if your bank or lawyer has a tight date.
