Legalisation of Documents
IMPORTANT
Since September 16, 2021
Singapore is part of the Apostille Convention.
Costa Rica is also a member, so that Costa Rican authorities will recognise all documents * apostilled by the Singapore authorities.
The Embassy of Costa Rica in Singapore has stopped providing the legalisation service.
It is enough that all documents be Apostilled by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL).

* All official Singaporean documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, notarial documents, court decisions, etc.) must be Apostilled and then translated into Spanish to be used in Costa Rica
