FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Before you select a legal translation service in Singapore, it is normal to have deeper questions about accuracy, formatting, confidentiality, and long-term support. Below we answer important concerns serious clients usually ask.
Can you share the qualifications of the translator working on my legal case?
Yes. Once we receive your file, we share the background of the translator assigned to your job. You can see their language pair, years of legal work, and the type of legal papers they often handle. This is shared before work begins, so you know who is working on your case and feel safe.
What if the Singapore court does not accept your translated document?
We take full ownership of the translation we deliver. If a Singapore court or any authority rejects our work for a language reason, we fix it free of cost. We work directly with you and your lawyer to understand the rejection note, correct the words, and redeliver the file fast so your case stays on track.
Will you sign an NDA before opening my confidential litigation files?
Yes. For court cases, family disputes, business fights, or any sensitive legal matter, we sign a full NDA before opening your file. The translator assigned to the job also signs a personal NDA. Your case names, parties, and case details stay locked inside the project. Nothing is shared outside the team.
Will the same translator handle every document in my one legal case?
Yes. For one case, we lock the same translator and reviewer team. This keeps party names, case numbers, dates, and legal terms exactly the same across every file. No mismatch between affidavit and contract, no different spelling of the same name in two papers. Lawyers love this because the court sees one clean voice across all submissions.
How do you handle damaged, faded, or handwritten legal papers?
Old court papers, faded affidavits, or handwritten declarations are common in legal work. We never guess unclear words. If a line is too faint or hard to read, we mark it and check back with you before final delivery. If a word truly cannot be read, we mark it as illegible in the translation rather than make up content. This keeps your file safe in court.
Can you give a side-by-side bilingual format if the court asks for it?
Yes. Many Singapore courts and overseas authorities ask for a two-column layout. Original text on the left, English on the right, line by line. We build this layout when you ask, so the judge or officer can quickly match every clause of the original with the translation. Useful for affidavits, contracts, and witness statements.
Do you change foreign legal terms to Singapore law words, or keep them as it is?
We never change the legal meaning. If your original paper uses a foreign law term, we keep it correct and then add a short note in brackets to explain the closest Singapore meaning. This is the safe and proper way. Changing a foreign legal word to a Singapore word without a note can change the meaning of the case, and we never do that.
Can my own lawyer cross-check your translation before I submit it?
Of course. We send a draft copy first if you want your lawyer to review it. Any feedback from your lawyer about a clause, a date, or a name is welcome. We make the change quickly at no extra cost. The final stamped copy is only released after both you and your lawyer are happy with the file.
If the court asks for a clause to be reworded later, can you amend the file?
Yes. Even after the court accepts your file, a judge or officer may ask for a small reword on one clause. We update the line, restamp the page, and send the new copy quickly. This is part of our after-delivery support for legal translation jobs. You are never left alone after the first submission.
If my translation is for overseas use, do you handle the apostille step too?
Yes. If your legal paper goes outside Singapore, you may need an apostille or embassy legalisation. We do not just hand you the translation and leave. We guide you on the full path: notarisation first, then apostille at SAL, and embassy stamping if your target country needs it. You can also ask us to run the full process for you so you do not have to chase any office yourself.
Can the court verify your stamp and translator details if asked?
Yes. Our stamp carries the company name, contact, and translator declaration. If a Singapore court or any authority wants to confirm it is real, they can call our office or email us directly. We confirm the job, the translator, and the date the file was issued. This protects you from any doubt about the source of your translation.
How do you handle slang or informal words inside witness affidavits?
Witness words matter a lot in court. We never clean up the witness voice or polish it. If the witness used a casual word, a local term, or a strong word, we keep the exact tone in English. The judge needs to read what the witness actually said, not a smooth corporate version. This is one of the most important rules in witness affidavit translation.
Protect Your Legal Documents With The Right Experts
Do not risk rejection, delay, or legal confusion from incorrect translation work. One small mistake can change legal meaning. Work with specialists who understand responsibility, compliance, and accuracy from start to finish.
