Frequently Asked Questions
Does Malaysia recognize certified Arabic translations for halal certification documents?
Yes. Malaysian importers and manufacturers regularly need certified translations of halal certificates and audit reports issued by GCC halal certifying bodies for JAKIM mutual recognition and import compliance. We work with the exact terminology JAKIM and industry auditors expect.
What is the difference between Modern Standard Arabic and spoken Arabic dialects in certified translation?
Certified, legal, and official documents are always written in Modern Standard Arabic, the standardized form used across all 22 Arab League states, not in regional spoken dialects like Gulf, Levantine, Egyptian, or Maghrebi Arabic. This is the version we translate to and from regardless of which Arab country a document originates from.
Can you translate Islamic finance contracts like sukuk, murabaha, and ijara agreements?
Yes. We regularly translate Shariah-compliant contracts — murabaha, ijara, mudarabah, and sukuk documentation — between Arabic and English for Malaysian Islamic banks, Labuan IBFC entities, and corporate clients submitting to Bank Negara Malaysia's Shariah Advisory Council.
Is a certified Arabic translation accepted by Bank Negara Malaysia and Malaysian courts?
Yes for both, with different language requirements. Bank Negara and Labuan IBFC generally accept certified English translations of Arabic Shariah documents. Malaysian courts and JPN require certified Bahasa Melayu translation of Arabic-language documents under the National Language Act.
Do you provide certified translation for Arabic birth, marriage, and education certificates?
Yes. We translate Arabic birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic transcripts, and degree certificates for MOHE recognition, Employment Pass applications, MM2H, and JPN marriage registration.
What documents does JAKIM require translated for GCC halal certificate recognition?
JAKIM typically requires certified translation of the halal certificate itself, the underlying audit or inspection report, and any supporting ingredient or process documentation issued by the GCC certifying body, before mutual recognition or import clearance is granted.
How long does certified Arabic translation take in Malaysia?
Standard certified translation is delivered within 24–48 hours. Urgent same-day service is available for time-sensitive applications, including halal certification renewals and Islamic finance submission deadlines.
How much does certified Arabic translation cost?
From RM0.50 per word for standard certified translation, or RM0.65 per word for same-day urgent service. A typical 1–2 page personal or halal certificate document costs approximately RM100–RM200.
