The Supreme Court provides translation services to law firms and members of the public, with priority given to requests for translation where documents will be used in Supreme Court proceedings. Translation services are available for documents in or to be translated into Chinese, Malay, Tamil and Malayalam. The Supreme Court may decline any translation request, whether because specialised technical terms are used in the source documents, or for any other reason.

Law firms may request for translation services by completing this E-form and attaching the documents for translation, which should not exceed 1.5 MB per file. No more than 5 documents should be forwarded with an E-form at any one time. Should translation be required for more than 5 documents, separate E-forms should be submitted. The E-form is for use by law firms only.

Members of the public are required to attend personally at the Interpreters Section at Level 3M to request for translation services. Please bring along the original as well as a photocopy of the document for translation. If only photocopies are provided, the remark "Original not produced" will be annotated on every set of translation produced.

Requests for translation of documents to be used in Supreme Court proceedings should be made at least 4 weeks before the date that the translated documents are required.

The following fees are payable for translation services rendered:
