Kuala Lumpur · Document and visa consulting
Send scans and we confirm the steps, the cost and the timeline before anything is submitted. Then we handle the notary, the ministries, Wisma Putra and the embassies ourselves.
Malaysia does not issue apostilles. If someone abroad asked you for one, this is what they actually need.
Read whyMalaysia is not a party to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. The Hague Conference on Private International Law lists 130 contracting parties as at 30 June 2026, and Malaysia is not among them. Indonesia and Singapore are.
So when a university, employer or authority abroad asks for an apostille, what they need from Malaysia is the full legalisation chain, ending with a stamp from their own mission. That chain is what we run.
There is no apostille to get on a Malaysian document. There is a chain of stamps, and it has to run in order.

Document work and visa work, plus the translation, notarisation and certified true copies that run through both. Everything below is prepared and submitted in person, by us.
Attestation, certification and stamping at the notary public, the relevant ministry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the mission that needs it.
Translation into and out of English, Malay, Arabic, Persian, Mandarin and Tamil.
Applications prepared and submitted at the embassies, for you, your staff or your clients.
For the United Arab Emirates we handle the documents, because the visa is issued from their side.
Every stamp depends on the one before it. This is the order a Malaysian document has to follow before another country will accept it.
The document is verified at source, or certified as a true copy by a notary public.
Education certificates go through the education authorities. Other documents go through the ministry that governs them.
The consular division at Wisma Putra in Putrajaya legalises the document for use abroad.
The embassy or consulate of the destination country adds the final stamp. Most sit in Kuala Lumpur, a few in Putrajaya.
The same five steps every time, whatever the document and wherever it is going.
The chain is not one counter. It is several, in different buildings, and the travelling between them is the part clients pay us to absorb.
Visa applications are submitted at these missions. Document legalisation covers far more countries than visa processing does.
Documents we legalise
Document work in Kuala Lumpur is done in person, at a window, in a queue. This is the team that does it.

No. Malaysia is not a contracting party to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, so no Malaysian authority issues apostilles. Documents going abroad need the full legalisation chain instead.
Clear scans of the document, and the country it is going to. That is enough for us to tell you which steps apply, what it costs and how long it takes.
You can, and you are welcome to. Our office is at Ativo Plaza in Bandar Sri Damansara. Most clients send scans first and courier the originals afterwards.
It depends on how many of the four steps your document needs and on the mission involved. We give you a timeline for your specific document before we submit.
