When do I need a Commissioner for Oaths? #
For documents requiring signing under oath for use in Singapore, the presence of a Commissioner for Oaths is mandatory. This typically applies to statutory declarations and affidavits. If your document is for use overseas, you may need a Notary Public instead. Our guide on whether to sign before a Commissioner, Notary Public or Lawyer explains which officer you need.
How much is the commissioning fee? #
The fees are prescribed by statute, with limited exceptions, and are not negotiable. Please use the Commissioning Fee Calculator to compute the fee for your documents.
How are notarial fees different? #
Notarial fees follow a similar statutory framework: charges for most notarial services, such as witnessing and issuing a Notarial Certificate, are prescribed by law and not negotiable, while services outside what is prescribed are charged at the Notary Public’s rates based on the nature and complexity of the request. If you need notarisation rather than commissioning, see our Notary Public Fee Guide, or compute fees directly with the Notary Public CTC Fee Calculator and the Notary Public Witnessing Fee Calculator.
