LAWYER FEE FOR CTC \u00b7 SINGAPORE<\/div>\n<\/div>

Lawyer Fee for CTC in Singapore<\/h1><\/div>

The lawyer fee for CTC<\/strong> at Loh Eben Ong LLP is S$20 for the first page requiring certification in each set of a document<\/strong>, plus S$5 for each additional page requiring certification in that set<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An Advocate and Solicitor compares the copy with the original document. First, check that the receiving organisation accepts certification by a Singapore lawyer.<\/p>\n

Appointments are at our Middle Road office. Bring physical originals for paper documents.<\/strong> For digital documents or emailed PDFs, check what to provide for verification<\/a> before attending. Photocopying and additional verification, where required, are charged separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Lawyer fee for CTC: sets, pages and rates<\/h2><\/div>

A set is one copy of a document and may contain one or several pages.<\/strong> If you need three copies of the same transcript, you need three sets. Count sets of different documents separately: one set of a transcript and one set of a degree certificate count as two sets.<\/p>\n

Pages requiring certification are the pages on which the lawyer must sign.<\/strong> A three-page transcript is one set. If all three pages require certification, the fee is S$20 + S$5 + S$5 = S$30. If only page 1 requires certification, the fee is S$20 for that set.<\/p>\n

Each set is charged separately. Count only the pages requiring certification, rather than automatically counting every page in the document. Check the recipient\u2019s instructions to confirm whether certification is required on every page or only on page 1. These are our lawyer certification charges, separate from notarial fees.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fees are estimates, subject to document review and confirmation. Tell us which documents you have, how many sets of each document you need and which pages require certification in each set.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What does a certified true copy confirm?<\/h2><\/div>

A certified true copy (CTC) confirms that the copy corresponds with the original document produced for comparison. It does not, by itself, prove the truth of its contents or authenticate a signature.<\/p>\n

You may need a CTC of a passport, identity document, certificate or deed poll. Acceptance depends on the receiving organisation\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do you need a Notary Public instead?<\/h2><\/div>

If the recipient asks for notarisation, a Notarial Certificate or an Apostille, choose the appropriate notary service. A lawyer-certified copy does not include these.<\/p>\n

For comparison, see our Notary Public Fee Guide<\/a>. You can also read the Singapore Academy of Law\u2019s legalisation FAQs<\/a> about Apostilles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Estimate your lawyer fee for CTC<\/h2><\/div>

Enter the total number of sets<\/strong> across all documents. Then enter the total additional pages requiring certification<\/strong>, excluding the first such page in each set.<\/p>\n

For three sets of a three-page transcript, with all pages requiring certification, enter 3 sets and 6 additional pages<\/strong>. If only page 1 requires certification in each set, enter 3 sets and 0 additional pages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Include photocopying or verification only where needed. The calculator gives an estimate; we confirm the final fee after reviewing your requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The number of sets and the pages requiring certification are separate quantities.<\/strong> Three sets of a three-page transcript, with every page certified, require nine certifications: three first pages and six additional pages. If only page 1 is certified in each set, there are three first pages and no additional pages requiring certification.<\/p>\n

If we make the photocopies, add the relevant copying charge for all pages copied, including any pages that do not require certification.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Paper originals and digital documents: what to provide<\/h2><\/div>

A PDF is a file format. It does not, by itself, establish that a document is an original or suitable for certification.<\/strong> Tell us how the document was issued and send the recipient\u2019s certification instructions for review.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Hardcopy originals<\/h3><\/div>

If the original was issued or signed on paper, you must bring the physical original to our office<\/strong>, together with the copies to be certified. A scan, photograph, screenshot or printout of a scanned PDF does not replace the paper original.<\/p>\n

Producing an original does not guarantee certification. It remains subject to our examination and verification<\/strong>, and we may require further supporting information before deciding whether we can certify the copy.<\/p>\n<\/div>
