Document guide
Malaysia has three types of police clearance
The translation requirement differs for each. Identify which one you have before ordering.
MOFA CGC
Certificate of Good Conduct · e-Konsular
Issued by Wisma Putra (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) after PDRM vetting. Processed via e-Konsular portal. The standard Malaysian police clearance for overseas use.
Key fact: The CGC is issued in both English and Bahasa Melayu. English-speaking destinations may not require translation.
Bilingual: English + Bahasa Melayu
PDRM Letter
Surat Pengesahan Rekod Polis · Bukit Aman
Issued directly by Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) through the Criminal Records Office at Bukit Aman or via MyEG. Used primarily for local Malaysian purposes.
Key fact: Issued in Bahasa Melayu only. Translation into English or local language required for ALL overseas submissions.

Foreign Nationals
Expats who lived in Malaysia · CGC via e-Konsular
Foreign nationals who lived in Malaysia under Employment Pass, Student Pass, or Dependent Pass for 6+ months may need a Malaysian CGC for overseas PR or professional registration.
Apply via the e-Konsular portal. Translation into the local language of your destination country may be required.
CGC: Bilingual English + Malay
Do you actually need translation? If your destination is Australia, the UK, Canada, the US, New Zealand, or Singapore immigration (ICA) — and you have the bilingual MOFA CGC — you may not need translation. The English section is generally accepted. However, if your destination is Germany, Japan, UAE, or other non-English countries, or if you have the Malay-only PDRM letter, certified translation is required. Not sure? Send us your document and destination — we’ll advise at no charge.
