Every review below comes from someone whose file actually went to ICA, MOM, ROM or an overseas authority. We have kept the four-star ones in — a page where nobody ever had a small complaint tells you nothing.
Certified translation is our most common order, but the harder work — notarised sets, apostille chains, court exhibits and same-day jobs — is where you probably want evidence that someone has done it before.
My certificate had two seals and a correction stamp on the reverse that an earlier translator had left out completely. This version described all three, and the officer at Kallang did not ask me a single question.
My Mandarin birth certificate had two seals and a correction stamp on the reverse that an earlier translator had left out completely. This version described all three, and the officer at Kallang did not ask me anything. Two working days, exactly as quoted.
Four days before my appointment I found out the translation had to be notarised. They booked the notary, went themselves, and couriered the sealed set to me a full day before I needed it.
Chinese contracts and a judgment for use in a Singapore civil matter. The legal register was right, the terminology was consistent across all documents, and our counsel had no amendments.
Submitted my PR application with their Mandarin to English birth certificate translation. Finished in six hours after I confirmed at 9 AM. Saved me postponing my appointment by another six weeks.
Four days before my ICA appointment and I found out the translation had to be notarised. They booked the notary, attended themselves, and the hard copy arrived a full day before I needed it.
We move fifteen to twenty employees a year and each brings a stack of foreign documents. Consolidated billing, one named contact, and turnaround we can actually plan around. Third year with them.
Translation, notarisation, Academy of Law authentication and apostille all handled together for documents going back to China. Five working days end to end. I had budgeted two weeks and three separate trips.
I assumed a Surat Beranak wouldn't need translating since everyone here reads Malay. They explained why ICA still wants English, quoted S$30, and it was done by the next morning. Straight answer, fair price.
Two Indonesian akta kelahiran translated in one order and delivered the same evening. What impressed me was that they matched the spelling of my children's names to their passports without me having to raise it first.
I assumed a Malay certificate would not need translating since everyone here reads Malay. They explained why ICA still wants it in English, quoted S$30, and it was done the next morning. Straight answer, fair price.
No rush surcharge, which I fully expected given how last-minute I was. The quality was not compromised either — the seal descriptions were as thorough as the sample they had shown me.
Four hours of mixed Mandarin and English audio transcribed then translated. Speaker labelling was accurate throughout and timestamps made it easy for our team to cross-reference.
I asked for notarisation because a forum post said PR applications need it. They read my acknowledgement letter and told me certified was enough, then charged me the lower amount. Not many businesses do that.
A Russian-language Kazakh certificate needed English translation, notarisation and SAL endorsement for a visa application. All steps done by the same team, which made a complicated process feel simple.
Review pages are easy to fake, so here is exactly how ours works.
The request goes out after delivery, to the email on the invoice. There is no public form on this page that anyone can fill in, which is how fake reviews usually get onto a site.
We do not gate the request behind a "were you happy?" question, and the critical reviews stay up. Our Google profile shows the same distribution as the panel above, including the one-star entries.
Reviewers agree to publication and surnames are abbreviated where asked. We never publish document contents, case details or anything identifying an application.
Reviews tell you how a job went. These pages tell you what your own job would involve, what it costs and how long it takes.
Send it today. You will have a fixed price within thirty minutes and, if you confirm before 11 AM, a certified translation back the same working day.
