English to Indonesian Translation — Certified, Accepted by Immigration, Embassies & Employers
We translate certified personal, employment, and legal documents between English and Bahasa Indonesia — for Indonesian nationals working, studying, or marrying in Malaysia, and Malaysian employers and authorities requiring English versions of Indonesian documents.
What Is Certified English-Indonesian Translation?
A document translation completed by a professional translator with a signed certification statement confirming accuracy. Required for Indonesian nationals submitting documents to Malaysian immigration and employers, and for Malaysians or companies needing English versions of Indonesian-language documents.
English ↔ Indonesian Translation: Inbound and Outbound
English to Indonesian (inbound)
Malaysian employers, immigration authorities, and institutions issuing English-language documents that Indonesian workers or authorities require in Bahasa Indonesia: employment contracts, offer letters, and compliance notices.
Indonesian to English (outbound)
Indonesian nationals working or residing in Malaysia who need certified English translations of Indonesian civil documents (KTP, family card, birth or marriage certificates) for work permits, visa renewals, and Malaysian government submissions.
Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu are closely related but not identical — official Indonesian documents (KTP, Akta Kelahiran, Kartu Keluarga) use Indonesian-specific terminology and are translated by a translator fluent in both variants, not treated as interchangeable with Malay.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu?
Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu are closely related Austronesian languages with shared roots, but differ in vocabulary, spelling, and official terminology. Official Indonesian documents use Indonesian-specific terms (e.g. Akta Kelahiran, not Sijil Kelahiran) and are translated by a translator familiar with Indonesian conventions, not simply treated as Malay.
Do I need a certified translation of my KTP or Kartu Keluarga for a Malaysian work permit?
Yes. Immigration Department Malaysia and most employers require certified English translations of Indonesian identity and family documents as part of work permit and visa applications.
Can you translate documents for marriage to a Malaysian citizen?
Yes, we regularly translate Akta Kelahiran, Buku Nikah, and supporting documents for JPN marriage registration involving an Indonesian national and a Malaysian citizen.
How long does certified English-Indonesian translation take?
Standard certified translation is delivered within 24–48 hours. Urgent same-day service is available for an additional fee.
Do you translate SKCK (Indonesian police clearance certificates)?
Yes, SKCK and other Indonesian police and civil documents are among the most common documents we translate for work permit and visa applications.
Is a certified translation the same as a notarised translation?
Not exactly. A certified translation includes a signed statement of accuracy from the translator. Notarisation adds a further layer where a notary public witnesses the translator’s signature — required by some Malaysian and Indonesian authorities for specific submissions.
How much does English-Indonesian certified 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 document costs approximately RM100–RM220.
