Certified Birth Certificate translation
Birth Certificate translation in Malaysia
Officially certified and accepted by the authorities that matter in Malaysia.
A birth certificate (sijil kelahiran) issued by Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) is one of the most frequently translated documents in Malaysia. Whether the original is in Bahasa Malaysia and you need it in English, or you hold a foreign birth certificate that must be submitted to a Malaysian authority, the translation has to be certified before it will be accepted — a plain translation is not enough.
Translife provides certified birth certificate translation from our Subang Jaya headquarters. Each translation is produced by a qualified human linguist, checked by a second reviewer, and issued with our company certification statement, official stamp, and signature confirming the translation is a true and accurate rendering of the original. Where a destination country requires it, we also arrange notarisation and Wisma Putra (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) endorsement so the document is ready for embassy legalisation.
We translate Malaysian birth certificates into English and other languages, and translate foreign birth certificates into English or Bahasa Malaysia for use with Malaysian authorities. Names, dates, registration numbers, and JPN formatting are reproduced exactly so the receiving institution can match the translation to the original without question.

Birth Certificate translation in Malaysia — FAQ
Answers to the questions we are asked most often.
Is a certified birth certificate translation accepted by JPN and Immigration in Malaysia?
Yes. Our certified translations carry a signed statement of accuracy, our company stamp, and signature, and are accepted by JPN, the Immigration Department, courts, and other Malaysian authorities. If your matter also requires use abroad, we can add notarisation and Wisma Putra (MOFA) endorsement for embassy legalisation.
How much does birth certificate translation cost in Malaysia?
A standard single-page birth certificate starts from RM180 (pages are counted per 200 words). Notarisation and MOFA endorsement, where required for overseas use, are quoted separately. You will receive an exact, all-in quote before we begin.
How long does it take?
A single-page birth certificate is typically ready within 1–2 working days for the certified translation. Urgent and same-day options are available. Notarisation and MOFA endorsement add a few additional working days depending on the destination.
Can you translate a foreign birth certificate for use in Malaysia?
Yes. We translate foreign birth certificates into English or Bahasa Malaysia and certify them for submission to JPN, Immigration, universities, and other Malaysian institutions.
Do I need to send the original document?
For the certified translation itself, a clear scan or photo is sufficient. If your destination requires notarisation or embassy legalisation, the original (or a certified true copy) may be needed — we will tell you up front based on where the document is going.
