Certified Degree Certificate translation
Degree Certificate translation in Singapore
Officially certified translation prepared for Singapore submissions; the receiving authority decides acceptance.
A degree certificate, diploma, or graduation certificate may need an English translation for a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) work-pass application, Singapore university admission, professional registration, or another receiving body. Confirm that body's current written checklist before ordering: translation and authentication requirements are not the same for every authority.
If you are submitting a non-English degree certificate to ICA, ICA publishes several official-translation routes and does not endorse private translation companies. One route accepts a translation notarised by a Notary Public in Singapore or the country/place that issued the certificate. A Malaysian Notary Public can therefore notarise a translation of a Malaysia-issued degree certificate; a certificate issued elsewhere must follow its own issuing-country/place route or another ICA-published route.
Translife produces certified degree certificate translation for the Singapore market from our Singapore office. Each translation is completed by a qualified human linguist familiar with academic terminology, reviewed by a second linguist, and issued with our certification statement, official stamp, and signature. The institution name, conferral date, qualification title, and classification are rendered accurately so the receiving body can verify the award.
Submission contexts
Common Singapore submission contexts
Requirements vary by document and application; confirm the receiving authority's written route.
Ministry of Manpower (MOM)
For Employment Pass documents, MOM says to upload the original and English translation in one file; its guidance permits a translation service provider.
Universities (NUS, NTU, SMU and others)
Confirm the individual programme's current admissions checklist before arranging a translation or authentication step.
Ministry of Education (MOE) Singapore
Confirm the relevant programme or recognition process's current document requirements.
Professional & licensing bodies in Singapore
Confirm the body's required translation and authentication route before submission.
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)
Use ICA's current published official-translation routes; ICA does not endorse any private translation provider.
Singapore Notary Public & SAL (if required)
If a confirmed route requires a Singapore Notary Public, SAL authenticates that Notarial Certificate. Confirm any further foreign-authority requirement directly with the recipient.

A human translator familiar with academic terminology renders the certificate, a second linguist reviews it, and we issue it with our signed statement of accuracy, company stamp, and signature.

Degree Certificate translation in Singapore β FAQ
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
What translation route is required for a degree certificate in Singapore?
There is no one route for every receiving body. MOM's current Employment Pass guidance permits a translation service provider when the original and English translation are uploaded together. Universities and professional bodies set their own requirements. For ICA, use its published official-translation routes; a Malaysia-issued degree certificate can use a translation notarised by a Malaysian Notary Public, while documents from elsewhere follow their issuing-country/place route or another ICA route.
How much does degree certificate translation cost in Singapore?
Pricing is quoted in Singapore Dollars per document, based on the language pair, certificate length, and the receiving authority's confirmed requirements. You will receive an exact, all-in quote before we begin β request a free quote to get yours.
How long does it take?
A single-page degree certificate is typically ready within 1β2 working days for translation, with urgent options available. Any required Notary Public, SAL, embassy, or foreign-mission step is scheduled separately after the route is confirmed.
Should I also translate my academic transcript?
Often, yes. MOM applications and university admissions frequently require both the degree certificate and the full academic transcript. We translate and certify both, and you can request a combined quote so your application package is consistent and complete.
Can you translate a foreign degree for use in Singapore?
Yes. We translate foreign-language degree and diploma certificates into English. Before submitting, confirm the receiving body's current route. For ICA, this includes using the issuing country/place's Notary Public route when applicable, such as a Malaysian Notary Public for a Malaysia-issued certificate.
