Frequently Asked Questions
Do German documents need an apostille for use in Malaysia?
Germany is a Hague Apostille Convention member, so most German 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 SSM accept German company documents translated into English?
Yes. SSM accepts incorporation documents in Bahasa Melayu or English. If your original Handelsregisterauszug or Gesellschaftsvertrag is in German, a certified translation into either language is required before registration.
Can you translate documents for MIDA investment applications?
Yes. We regularly translate corporate and financial documents for German manufacturers applying for manufacturing licenses or investment incentives through MIDA.
Do German expatriates need certified translation for Employment Pass applications?
Yes. Degree certificates, Führungszeugnis (police clearance), and employment contracts typically need certified translation into English or Bahasa Melayu for Employment Pass applications.
Can you translate technical manuals and quality specifications?
Yes. We regularly translate technical specifications, quality manuals, and SOPs between German and English for Malaysian suppliers and German manufacturers.
