What is a notarised translation of a Malaysian document?

A notarised translation combines a certified translation with notarisation by a notary public. First, a professional translator or translation company prepares a certified Malay to English translation of your Malaysian document. Then a notary public verifies the identity of the person signing the certification and witnesses the signature. The result is a notarised document that many authorities in Singapore and Canada accept.

When do I need a notarised translation instead of a certified translation?

You usually need a notarised translation when the authority that will receive your documents specifically mentions notarised translations, notary public involvement or legalisation. This is common for some applications with ICA, courts and certain Canadian authorities. If your instructions are not clear, you can send them to us and we will advise you whether a certified translation alone is enough or whether notarisation is also required.

Which Malaysian documents can you translate and notarise?

We handle a wide range of Malaysian documents including birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, SPM and other education results, nursing certificates, professional licences, bank and EPF statements and many other personal and legal documents. If your document is not listed, you can still send us a clear copy for review.

How much does notarised translation cost?

Our standard fee for notarised translation of common Malaysian documents starts from 150 SGD per document for single sided documents. Double sided documents or more complex cases are usually charged at 180 SGD per document. If your situation is unusual, we will confirm the price with you before you decide to proceed.

How long does notarised translation take?

For most single page Malaysian personal documents, we can complete translation, certification and notarisation within 24 to 48 hours after you approve the quote and make payment. Larger sets of documents or more complex cases may take longer. If you have a fixed deadline from ICA, a court or a Canadian authority, let us know and we will confirm a realistic timeline before you proceed.

Will I receive both softcopy and hardcopy of the notarised translation?

Yes. You receive a softcopy PDF of your notarised translation by email for your records and for online submissions. You also receive notarised hardcopy documents. You can collect them in person or arrange delivery to a Singapore address by courier, depending on what your authority accepts.

As a general guide:
Single-sided document: For example, a one-page Malaysian birth certificate or a one-page marriage certificate. Usually charged at 150 SGD per document.
Double-sided document: For example a document that has information on the front and back or Borang K. Usually charged at 180 SGD per document.

Important notes

Notarisation is commonly required for submission to Singapore authorities that explicitly mention notary public involvement in their document instructions.
Some Canadian authorities and institutions also ask for notarised translations as part of immigration, study or professional registration processes. Requirements can change, so always check the latest guidance from your requester.
If you are unsure whether you need notarised translation, certified translation or additional steps such as apostille or Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation, send us your instructions and we will advise you.

Frequently asked questions about notarised translation

1. What is the difference between a certified and a notarised translation?

Certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation company confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. Notarised translation adds an extra layer. A notary public verifies the identity of the person signing the certification and witnesses the signature. Some authorities accept certified translations, while others request notarised translations or specify that a notary public must be involved.

2. Can I use this service for ICA applications?

Yes, this service is suitable when your ICA instructions or your professional adviser indicate that you should submit notarised translations. For some ICA applications a certified translation alone may be enough. If you are not sure which option applies to your case, upload your documents and checklist and we will review them with you.

3. Can I use this service for Canadian authorities?

Many Canadian authorities accept notarised translations, especially where the instructions mention notary involvement or sworn translations. You should always refer to the latest instructions from your Canadian authority or institution. If you share those instructions with us, we can help confirm whether this notarised translation service is suitable.

4. Do you need my original documents?

For translation we usually only need clear scanned copies or photos of your original Malaysian documents. For notarisation, the notary public may need to see the original document in certain situations. If original documents are required for your case, we will tell you what is needed and how to proceed safely.

5. How many notarised copies will I receive?

By default most clients order one set of notarised hardcopy documents. If you need additional sets for different applications, you can tell us during the quote stage and we will include them in your quote.

6. What happens if my notarised documents are not accepted?

If your notarised documents are not accepted by a Singapore or Canadian authority because of an issue with our translation or notarisation, contact us within 14 days and share the rejection details. We will investigate and either correct the documents at no additional cost or provide a full refund in line with our guarantee.
