ICS Singapore, Ministry of Manpower(MoM), Ministry of Finance (MOF), and many other Govt. Authorities in Singapore have laid their rules on certifying translated documents.
Applicants are applying for Govt. Approvals must submit all their personal information only in English. Suppose your document, like your Birth Certificate, is in another language like, e.g., Malay or French. In that case, you have to translate it to English and submit the details along with your originals.
Who can translate personal documents into English?
Many applicants ask if they can translate their documents into English, as they are well versed in both languages. Unfortunately, Singapore authorities do not accept self-translation.
Applicant can ask hir or her spouse to do the Translation if the person is qualified to do the Translation.
Otherwise, rely on a certified translation agency in Singapore to do your birth certificate translation into English.
