    Signing your HDB POA in Singapore<\/h2><\/div>

    Sign before our solicitor by appointment. Bring your original identity document and follow the instructions sent with your appointment confirmation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    If possible, complete your HDB power of attorney before leaving Singapore. This avoids arranging an overseas witness and returning the original papers.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Signing your HDB POA overseas<\/h2><\/div>

    You may generally sign before a Notary Public or a diplomatic or consular official at a Singapore Overseas Mission. Obtain our instructions before booking the witness.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    Buying with CPF savings?<\/strong> If you sign overseas and use CPF Ordinary Account savings to buy the flat, an official at a Singapore Overseas Mission must witness and seal or stamp the POA. A foreign notary is not sufficient for this purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

    Return the original signed POA to our Singapore office as instructed. See the overseas signing specimen<\/a> and Singapore Overseas Mission directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
