Legalise a document
Firstly documents originating in Singapore (example; statutory declaration, certificate of origin, power of attorney, school certificate, birth certificate, contract etc). This may have to be legalised by the Consular Division at the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Because before they can be accepted overseas.
Finally once this document has been legalised by the local Singaporean authority only then can you take it to the British High Commission in Singapore for verification. Additionally the High Commission does not authenticate the document but only verifies that the Singapore government verification is authentic.
