Authentication chain for Inheritance / Probate Documents bound for Singapore
Singapore is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention — therefore Inheritance / Probate Documents must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Apostille (for Singapore).
Once the MFA issues an Apostille, Singapore accepts it directly — no further embassy step required, saving 1-2 weeks and embassy fees.
Our team refreshes Singapore requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
