Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified translation cost in Malaysia?
It depends on the language pair, the document, its length and how quickly you need it. Send us a scan through the form or by email and we will reply with a fixed, free quote.
Do I have to visit an office?
No. Most work is done remotely: you send a scan, we send the translation by email and originals by courier. Personal attendance is only needed for notary signings and on-site interpreting.
Is Malaysia part of the Apostille Convention?
Malaysia is not currently listed as a Contracting Party on the HCCH status table. Malaysian documents are therefore authenticated by Wisma Putra and legalised by the destination country's embassy instead of being apostilled.
Which languages do you translate?
Malay, English, Chinese, Tamil, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian and more than 25 other languages. If yours is not listed, ask us — our international network covers many more.
Are my documents kept confidential?
Yes. Documents are only shared with the linguists and officials involved in your order, and are handled in line with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010.
