Common problems before filing in Malaysia

    1. Name spelling differs from the passport — check every character, including middle names.

    2. Translation not checked — some Malaysia authorities require a Malay translation.

    3. Incomplete notarial details — the certificate should show the attorney's name, registration number, signature and seal.

    4. Missing legalisation step — notarisation alone may not be enough; confirm the receiving authority's requirements.

    5. Wrong procedure for the date — steps for Apostille countries may differ before and after 28 February 2027.

    6. Document too old — some authorities set a validity window; confirm with the receiving authority.

How the work proceeds

    1. Draft review: send the draft so our staff can confirm the format required in Malaysia.

    2. Signing before the notarial attorney: bring your original ID or passport.

    3. Department of Consular Affairs legalisation: according to its current procedure and queue.

    4. Malaysia Embassy legalisation (if required): according to the embassy's conditions.

    5. Collection or courier: our staff confirm each step once actual appointments are known.

Quick answer — Declaration of Single Status for use in Malaysia

    Short answer: a Declaration of Single Status certified by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney must complete the legalisation steps required by the receiving authority in Malaysia.


    Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention — documents require Department of Consular Affairs legalisation followed by the Malaysia Embassy in Bangkok.


    Timing: depends on Department of Consular Affairs and embassy queues — our staff confirm the schedule after reviewing your documents.

    Service fee: request a quotation from our staff. Government and embassy fees are paid at the rates those offices publish.

Q: Do I need a Malay translation?
A: English is generally accepted, but certain Malaysia authorities still require Malay.
Q: Does Malaysia accept e-Apostille (digital)?
A: Malaysia is not an Apostille Convention party — standard consular legalisation is used.
Q: How long does it take?
A: Turnaround depends on document type, volume and government office queues, which change over time. Confirm the delivery schedule in your quotation before work starts.
Q: Do I need to visit the office in person?
A: Only the notary signing step requires an in-person appearance (Bangkok on-site available). MFA and Embassy steps are handled by NYC on your behalf.
Q: What is the Malaysia embassy fee?
A: Embassy fees follow the embassy's published rates and may change. Request a service quotation from our staff.
Q: Do I have to submit the passport original?
A: Only during the notary appointment (same-day return). MFA and embassy steps do not require the original passport.
Q: What if the courier loses the document?
A: We use tracked courier services. If a problem occurs, our staff explain the options and re-filing steps; cover follows the courier's terms.
Q: Is a Thai notarised document guaranteed to be accepted in Malaysia?
A: A Notary + MFA + Embassy document cannot be guaranteed acceptance by anyone; the receiving authority in Malaysia decides. Confirm its format requirements before filing.
