European Languages ↔ English/Malay Translation: Inbound and Outbound

Each direction serves a different community with different document needs.

European languages to English/Malay (inbound)

European companies registering or investing in Malaysia need certified translations of incorporation documents, articles of association, and financial statements issued in German, French, or Spanish for SSM and MIDA.

English/Malay to European languages (outbound)

Malaysian companies submitting compliance documentation, contracts, or due diligence materials to European partners, auditors, or regulators need certified translations into German, French, or Spanish.

Do EU business documents need an apostille for use in Malaysia? Germany, France, and Spain are all members of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, so their public and notarized business documents typically carry an apostille rather than requiring full embassy legalization. Malaysia generally recognizes apostilled documents, but a certified translation into English or Bahasa Melayu is a separate, additional requirement — the apostille verifies the document's authenticity, not its language.
