- ICA requires the official JPN Sijil Kelahiran — not a hospital-issued certificate. If you only have the hospital copy, request the official JPN certificate first before proceeding.
When is it required?
Common ICA & MOM applications
A certified English translation of your Sijil Kelahiran is required for most ICA immigration and MOM spousal pass applications.
ICA PR application
Birth certificates verify identity and family relationships for all PR applicants.
Singapore Citizenship
Highest scrutiny — names and dates cross-checked against passport and all related records.
LTVP / Dependant's Pass
Family relationship documents including birth certificates required for spousal and child passes.
Employment Pass family
Children's birth certificates establish parent-child relationships for family passes via MOM.
ROM registration
ROM may require translated birth certificates when registering a marriage in Singapore.
Embassy submissions
Visa applications at embassies in Singapore may require translated birth documentation.
Avoid costly delays
Why birth certificate translations get rejected
A rejected ICA submission means a delayed application. These are the five most common causes — and why our process is designed to prevent each one.
Hospital certificate submitted — ICA requires the official JPN Sijil Kelahiran
Stamps or seals left untranslated — every visible element must be accounted for
Name mismatch between translation and passport spelling
Machine translation (Google Translate / AI) — not accepted by ICA or MOM
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.
Social proof
ICA approved. First time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about notarised translation of Malaysian birth certificates for ICA Singapore.
- Last updated: June 2026
ICA submission
Process & pricing
Yes, in most cases. While Malaysian birth certificates use a bilingual form layout, the personal details — name, place of birth, parents’ names — are typically filled in Malay. ICA will reject any document containing a foreign language in any field, even if the form itself is partly in English.
Yes. Since 1 October 2019, all notarised documents submitted to ICA must be authenticated by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) or a notarisation done in the country of origin e.g. Malaysia.
ICA requires the official JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) Sijil Kelahiran. If you only have a hospital-issued birth certificate, you must first obtain the official JPN version through a JPN office in Malaysia or a Malaysian embassy before proceeding with translation.
Yes. ICA cross-references the translated birth certificate against your passport. Any spelling difference — even a middle name or hyphenation — creates a verification gap that can result in rejection. We verify all names against the passport you provide before certifying the translation.
No. ICA does not accept machine translations, including Google Translate, DeepL or AI-generated outputs. Translations must be produced by a qualified human translator and then notarised to be valid for submission. Submitting a machine translation is one of the leading causes of ICA document rejection.
Yes. Every element must be accounted for — stamps, seals, watermarks, remarks and handwritten annotations. Omitting any of these is one of the most common causes of ICA rejection. We translate or describe every visible element on the document.
At certified-translation.co, certified translation starts from S$60 and notarised translation (including Notary Public seal + SAL authentication) starts from S$150. Final pricing is confirmed before work begins — no hidden charges.
Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for translation and certification. Notarisation with SAL authentication typically adds 1–2 working days. Urgent same-day translation is available on request — contact us before ordering to confirm slot availability.
