Frequently Asked Questions
What is a family relation certificate and why does it need translation?
A family relation certificate (가족관계증명서) is Korea's modern civil record of a person's parents, spouse, and children, replacing the old household-head registration system since 2008. It's the document Korean nationals typically present in place of a standalone birth or marriage certificate, and it needs certified translation for use with Malaysian authorities.
Does SSM accept Korean company documents in English?
Yes. SSM accepts company documents in Bahasa Melayu or English. If your original incorporation documents are in Korean, a certified translation into one of these two languages is required before submission.
Do I need a notarised Korean translation or is certified enough?
A certified translation with a signed accuracy statement is the baseline accepted by most Malaysian authorities, including SSM. Some procedures on the Korean side may require an apostille instead, since Korea is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Confirm with the receiving office before ordering.
Can you translate technical manuals for manufacturing and electronics companies?
Yes. We regularly translate technical manuals, SOPs, and Safety Data Sheets between English/Malay and Korean for manufacturers and electronics suppliers, maintaining a terminology glossary per client for consistency.
Is English or Bahasa Melayu accepted for Korean immigration documents used in Malaysia?
It depends on the receiving authority. SSM generally accepts either English or Bahasa Melayu. Malaysian courts and JPN require Bahasa Melayu specifically under Malaysian law.
How long does certified Korean translation take?
Standard certified translation is delivered within 24–48 hours. Urgent same-day service is available for time-sensitive applications.
How much does certified Korean translation cost?
From RM0.70 per word for standard certified translation, or RM0.80 per word for same-day urgent service. Notarised translation is RM220 per page.
