Frequently Asked Questions
Do French documents need an apostille for use in Malaysia?
France is a Hague Apostille Convention member, so most French public documents carry an apostille rather than requiring embassy legalization. A certified translation into English or Bahasa Melayu is a separate requirement on top of the apostille.
Does MOHE accept French diplomas translated into English?
MOHE and MQA require certified English or Bahasa Melayu translation of French-language degree certificates and transcripts before they can be evaluated for equivalency or recognition.
Does SSM accept French company documents translated into English?
Yes. SSM accepts incorporation documents in Bahasa Melayu or English. If your original extrait Kbis or statuts is in French, a certified translation into either language is required before registration.
Can you translate documents for French professionals' Employment Pass applications?
Yes. Diplomas, casier judiciaire (police clearance), and employment contracts typically need certified translation into English or Bahasa Melayu for Employment Pass applications.
Do documents from Francophone Africa or Canada follow the same process?
Legalization requirements vary by country of origin even when the document is in French — some Francophone jurisdictions aren't Hague Apostille members. We can advise once we know where the document was issued.
How long does certified French 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 French translation cost?
From RM0.70 per word for standard certified translation, or RM0.75 per word for same-day urgent service. Notarised translation is RM220 per page.
