Legalisation of Documents

France is a party to the Apostille Convention. The French Apostille Issuing Authority is the French Court of Appeals. With effect from 16 September 2021, documents with an apostille affixed can be presented in Singapore directly without further legal legalisation from the Embassy of Singapore in Paris. The contact details of the French Court of Appeals are as follow :
