Sijil Kelakuan Baik (CGC)

Issued by Malaysia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs via the e-Konsular portal. Security vetted by PDRM (Polis Diraja Malaysia). Confirms no identifiable criminal record.

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.

  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs stamp or PDRM seal not translated or described

  • CGC reference number or e-Konsular application number omitted

  • Name mismatch between translation and current passport

  • Machine translation — not accepted by ICA

  • Expired CGC submitted — check validity with receiving authority before ordering translation

  • Acceptance guarantee: if your submission is rejected due to an error in our translation, notarisation or SAL authentication, 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 police clearance (CGC) for PR?
Yes. ICA requires police clearance from all countries where you have lived for six months or more. The Malaysian CGC is issued in Malay and must be accompanied by a certified English translation for ICA PR and Citizenship applications.
What is the difference between a Malaysian CGC and a PDRM police clearance?

The CGC (Certificate of Good Conduct) is issued by Malaysia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs via the e-Konsular portal and is security-vetted by PDRM. A PDRM clearance is issued directly by the Royal Malaysian Police for domestic purposes. ICA and international authorities typically require the CGC.

Is certified or notarised translation required for a Malaysian CGC?

For most ICA, MOM and embassy CGC submissions, a certified translation is sufficient. Notarisation is only required when your specific checklist explicitly states ‘Notarised Translation’ or ‘Notary Public’. We advise on which applies for your submission.

Does the PDRM stamp and e-Konsular reference number need to be translated?

Yes. All official stamps, seals and reference numbers on the CGC must be translated or described. Omitting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stamp or e-Konsular application reference is a common rejection point.

How long is a Malaysian CGC valid for ICA submissions?

ICA does not publish a fixed validity period, but CGCs are generally expected to be recent. We recommend checking with ICA or your solicitor for the specific validity requirement applicable to your application.

How much does Malaysian CGC translation cost in Singapore?

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