How it works

From translation to legalisation

We coordinate the route confirmed for your document β€” you don't have to run between translators, notaries, Wisma Putra, and the embassy yourself.

1 Β· Translate

Certified, sworn, or notarised translation into the destination's target language β€” produced by translators accredited by the relevant authority.

2 Β· Legalise

For Malaysian-origin documents, confirm the receiving authority's route. Wisma Putra attestation and receiving-mission legalisation may be required; Malaysia does not issue apostilles.

3 Β· Deliver

Returned to you in Malaysia or couriered directly to your destination β€” tracked and signed.
