From burial permit to Sijil Kematian
A death in Peninsular Malaysia is first reported to a death verification agency: the hospital, the police (PDRM) or, in Kuala Lumpur, City Hall (DBKL). It issues the Death Register and Burial Permit (form NRD.LM02), giving the blue copy to the informant and sending the grey copy to JPN within seven working days. JPN then issues the death certificate (Sijil Kematian) free of charge. For a hospital death, a doctor's certificate of the cause of death (NRD.LM09, or NRD.LM10 after a post-mortem) is part of the file.
The certificate can be collected by the deceased's parents, spouse, children or siblings, or by the informant named on the permit. Malaysia issues no certified copies; a lost certificate is replaced by an extract of the death register. A family file may hold the burial permit, the cause-of-death form and the certificate. They are different documents, and we label each one.
Deaths abroad, presumed deaths and US uses
JPN also records deaths of Malaysians abroad, deaths during the hajj and presumed deaths, each under its own procedure, and corrects clerical or factual errors on certificates by application. A certificate issued after a correction may differ from an earlier copy; we translate the one you send exactly as printed. Corrections are made under specific sections of the registration law, and the amended entry is what later copies show.
In the US a Malaysian death certificate usually proves that an earlier marriage ended, supports a survivor's claim or opens an estate. Where an insurer or court needs the cause of death, check which of your documents states it and translate that one. See the Malaysian marriage certificate page and our Malay page. Names of the deceased and of the parents are kept exactly as printed.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
Frequently asked questions
I have a blue burial permit but no certificate.
The permit is a different document. We translate it, but most offices want the JPN certificate.
The death happened in Malaysia but the family lives here.
We work from a photo or scan of the certificate, so the original can stay where it is.
Does USCIS need an apostille on it?
No. Malaysia is not in the Apostille Convention in any case; documents for abroad are attested by Wisma Putra.
