My divorce certificate is in a foreign language. Do I have to translate it to English and have it notarised or endorsed?

Question

Accepted Answer

If a divorce certificate is in Malay, Chinese, Tamil or Bahasa Indonesia, translation to English is not required. However, if the divorce certificate is in any other languages, it must be translated to English by a certified translator.

While there is no requirement for a divorce certificate to be notarised, having a notarised divorce certificate will facilitate the verification of documents. If you intend to notarise the document, you may approach the relevant country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or its Embassy in Singapore for assistance.
