Get an apostille Malaysia

Malaysia is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means U.S. documents cannot be apostilled for use there. Instead, documents must go through a different authentication process called consular legalization to be recognized by Malaysian authorities.

At Apostille Corp, we specialize in helping U.S. citizens and organizations authenticate documents for Malaysia. This will make sure that your paperwork is officially recognized and accepted quickly and accurately.

When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Malaysia

U.S. citizens traveling to Malaysia for tourism or business generally do not need a visa for stays of 90 days or less.

However, for longer stays or specific purposes, such as working or studying, additional documentation may be required. In these cases, U.S. documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, corporate documents, notarial documents, affidavits, diplomas, transcripts, passport, or employment records may need to be submitted to Malaysian authorities.

Since Malaysia is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, U.S. documents intended for use in Malaysia must undergo a multi-step authentication process:

  • Notarization: The document must first be notarized by a licensed U.S. notary public.
  • State Authentication: The notarized document is then authenticated by the Secretary of State in the state where it was notarized.
  • S. Department of State Authentication: Following state authentication, the document is submitted to the U.S. Department of State for federal authentication.
  • Malaysian Embassy or Consulate Legalization: Finally, the authenticated document must be legalized by the Malaysian Embassy or Consulate in the U.S.

This comprehensive process ensures that U.S. documents are recognized and accepted by Malaysian authorities for various purposes, including employment, education, and legal matters.

Get Your U.S. Documents Authorized for Malaysia

At Apostille Corp, we help you handle the process, so your documents are properly prepared and authorized without unnecessary delays.

Here’s how we can help:

  • Prepare Your Document: Your document must be an original or certified copy. If notarization is required, it should first be notarized by a licensed U.S. notary public. Once notarized, it is ready for authentication.
  • Authenticate Your Document: We submit your notarized documents to the appropriate U.S. authority. State-issued documents go through the Secretary of State, while federal documents are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State.
  • Legalize for Malaysia: After authentication, we coordinate with the Malaysian Embassy or Consulate to legalize your documents, making them fully recognized in Malaysia.

With Apostille Corp, your documents are processed efficiently and accurately. This way, you can focus on travel, work, or study in Malaysia with peace of mind.
