Avoid costly delays

Why translations get rejected

A rejected submission means a delayed application. These are the most common causes — and how our process prevents each one.

  • Cause of death field omitted or summarised rather than translated literally

  • JPN registration number or serial reference not included

  • Name mismatch between translation and the deceased's IC or passport records

  • JPN stamp or endorsement not translated or described

  • Missing notarisation — mandatory for all submissions since October 2019

  • Acceptance guarantee: if your ICA or MOM submission is rejected due to an error in our translation or notarisation we correct it at no charge.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about this document type for MOM and ICA Singapore.

Does ICA require a translated Malaysian death certificate for PR applications?

Yes. If a deceased parent, spouse or family member is referenced in an ICA PR or Citizenship application, their Sijil Kematian must be accompanied by a certified English translation. For ICA submissions, a notarised translation with SAL authentication or a notarisation from the issuing country is required.

Does a Malaysian death certificate need to be notarised for Singapore courts or probate?

Yes. The Family Justice Courts require translated foreign death certificates for estate and probate proceedings, typically at the notarised standard. We advise on the specific requirement based on your solicitor’s checklist.

Does CPF Board accept a certified translation of a Malaysian death certificate?

CPF Board typically accepts a certified translation of a Sijil Kematian for nomination claim processing. Notarisation is not always required for CPF purposes. We confirm the specific requirement before work begins.

Does the cause of death field in a Sijil Kematian need to be translated?

Yes. The cause of death is a required field and must be translated literally — not summarised or omitted. Courts, CPF and ICA all require a complete translation of every field.

Does the JPN stamp on a death certificate need to be translated?

Yes. All official JPN stamps, endorsements and registration numbers must be translated or described. Omitting these is a common rejection point in court and ICA submissions.

How much does Malaysian death certificate translation cost in Singapore?

Certified translation starts from S$60. Notarised translation (Notary Public + SAL) starts from S$150. Final pricing is confirmed before work begins.
