The Kad OKU from the Social Welfare Department
In Malaysia, persons with disabilities (Orang Kurang Upaya, OKU) are defined in the Persons with Disabilities Act 2008 (Act 685) and registered by the Department of Social Welfare (Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat, JKM). Registration requires the application form BPPOKU (Pindaan 2/2019) with a confirmation report by a medical specialist at a government or private hospital or clinic, and a copy of the MyKad, or the birth certificate for a child under 12.
Applications are made at a JKM counter or online through MyDaftar OKU. The registered person receives a Kad OKU showing the category of disability. JKM recognises seven categories: physical, learning, hearing, visual, speech, mental and multiple. A mental disability must be confirmed by a government psychiatrist. The card is a registration document, not a medical report: it records that JKM has registered you in a category.
Translating the card and the report
The Kad OKU is short, and the category is the key line. We translate it exactly as printed, for example Kurang Upaya Pendengaran as hearing disability, and keep the registration details and dates. For a US agency that needs medical detail, the specialist's report attached to the BPPOKU form says much more than the card, and we translate it in full.
The card also matters for driving: JPJ issues class A and A1 licences to holders of a JKM-certified OKU card. See the Malaysian driver's license and medical records pages and our Malay page. Those licences also require a medical check and, for a modified vehicle, confirmation from JPJ's Automotive Engineering Division. If you are converting such a licence, translate the Kad OKU too, since the class depends on it.
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
My Kad OKU says Kurang Upaya Fizikal.
That is the physical disability category. We translate it as printed.
Do I need the specialist's report as well?
If the office needs medical detail, yes. The card shows only the category.
Will you translate the card's category as a US disability rating?
No. We translate it as printed; US agencies apply their own criteria.
