Kuala Lumpur · Attestation and visa processing
We take Malaysian documents through the notary, the ministries, Wisma Putra and the destination embassy. You send scans. We queue, submit and collect.
Malaysia does not issue apostilles. If someone abroad asked you for one, this is what they actually need.
Read whyRead this first
There is no apostille to get on a Malaysian document. There is a chain of stamps, and it has to run in order.
Malaysia 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 embassy in Kuala Lumpur. That chain is what we run.

What we handle
Everything below is prepared and submitted in person, by us, in Kuala Lumpur.
Attestation, certification and stamping at the notary public, the relevant ministry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy that needs it.
Also education certificates issued by universities in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia.
Applications prepared and submitted to the embassies in Kuala Lumpur, for you, your staff or your clients.
Employers hiring expatriates into Malaysia can also hand us the ESD system submissions.
How it works
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, here in Kuala Lumpur.
Send us scans first. We tell you which of these four steps your document actually needs, what each one costs and how long it takes, before anything is submitted.

If your destination is not listed, ask anyway. Document legalisation covers many more countries than visa processing does.
Certificate attestation also covers documents from Taiwan, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan.
Who does the running
Document work in Kuala Lumpur is done in person, at a window, in a queue. This is the team that does it.

Questions
Short answers. Anything specific to your document, send it over and we will tell you.
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, finishing at the destination country embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
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 to us afterwards.
It depends on how many of the four steps your document needs and on the embassy involved. We give you a timeline for your specific document before we submit, rather than quoting an average that may not apply to you.
