Power of Attorney (POA) for use in Malaysia ðŸ‡ēðŸ‡ū

A Thai-notarised Power of Attorney (POA) must clear the chain Notary Public (TH) → MFA Legalization → Malaysian Embassy Bangkok before it is accepted in Malaysia. Because Malaysia has not acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention, an additional Malaysia Embassy legalisation in Bangkok is required.Our team of Notarial Services Attorneys (registered with the Lawyers Council of Thailand) has shipped documents to Malaysia for over 12 years.

    Services frequently used together when shipping to Malaysia:

  • Malay certified translation (when the destination authority requires the official language).
  • Malaysia Embassy legalisation — [/services/embassy/my](/services/embassy/my)
  • Outbound visa to Malaysia — [/services/visa-outbound/my](/services/visa-outbound/my)

  • Lawyers Council of Thailand (Notarial Services regulations) — https://www.lawyerscouncil.or.th

Most common reasons Malaysia rejects a Thai notarised document

    1. Name spelling does not match the passport — every character must match (including middle names and titles).

    2. No Malay translation — Malaysia authorities frequently reject Thai-only or English-only documents.

    3. Notary seal expired / registration number mismatch — the notary must hold an active licence from the Lawyers Council.

    4. Missing MFA step — a notary seal alone is not enough; MFA / Apostille is mandatory for cross-border use.

    5. Embassy stamp skipped — Malaysia still requires embassy legalisation after MFA.

    6. Document older than 3–6 months — several destinations enforce a validity window (e.g. Declaration of Single Status is 3–6 months in Malaysia).

    7. Wrong font or layout — some embassies require A4 with 2 cm margins.

Quick Answer — Power of Attorney (POA) for use in Malaysia

    Short answer: Power of Attorney (POA) notarised by a Thai Notarial Services Attorney is accepted in Malaysia after the chain Notary Public (TH) → MFA Legalization → Malaysian Embassy Bangkok.


    Malaysia has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention — documents still require MFA legalisation followed by the Malaysia Embassy in Bangkok.


    Total turnaround: 7–14 business days (Notary + MFA + Embassy).

    Indicative cost: THB 6,000 onward (excluding destination-country consular fees).

8 āļ„āļģāļ–āļēāļĄ
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 a Hague member — the digital Apostille route does not apply; standard consular legalisation is used.
Q: How long does it take?
A: 7–14 business days for Notary + MFA + Embassy, or 3–5-day Rush with +50% surcharge.
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: THB 1,800–2,600 per set (2026 update) plus NYC's embassy-runner service THB 5,000–12,000.
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: NYC ships via DHL/FedEx tracked with insurance — if the parcel is lost or damaged, NYC re-runs the entire chain at our cost.
Q: Is a Thai notarised document guaranteed to be accepted in Malaysia?
A: A Notary + MFA + Embassy document processed through NYC is accepted at 100% rate in Malaysia when its content matches the receiving authority's format requirements.
