Document background
The Authorization Letter Apostille serves as a crucial document for delegating authority in international contexts. When Singapore-issued documents need to be recognized in other Hague Convention countries, they require apostille certification. The document must first be properly executed and notarized before being submitted to the Singapore Academy of Law for apostille. This process became particularly relevant after Singapore's accession to the Apostille Convention in 2021, simplifying the previous legalization process. The Authorization Letter Apostille typically includes detailed identification of all parties, specific powers being granted, duration of authority, and any relevant conditions or limitations.
