NOTARY IN THE EAST

Legalization is the process of authenticating legal documents for use in a foreign country. Some countries (e.g. Middle Eastern) require documents to be legalised before it will be accepted. To legalize a document, it must first be notarised, then authenticated / legalised by the Singapore Academy of Law then by the relevant embassy.
