The SPM certificate and its grades
At the end of secondary school, Malaysian students sit the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), the Malaysian Certificate of Education run by the Ministry of Education. Each subject is graded A+, A, A-, B+, B, C+, C, D, E or G, a scale that replaced the older grades 1A to 9G. When announcing the 2024 results, the Education Director-General reported A+, A and A- as the excellent grades, E as the lowest pass and C as the honours (credit) level.
A certificate issued before the change shows the old 1A to 9G grades, so two siblings' certificates can look quite different. We translate every subject name, such as Bahasa Melayu and Sejarah (History), and keep each grade exactly as printed, without converting it. Grade equivalence for a US school is an evaluator's decision. Any results slip issued with the certificate is translated the same way.
STPM, MUET and attestation
Students who stay on for pre-university study take the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), run by the Malaysian Examinations Council, which also runs the MUET English test. Each is a separate certificate and translated on its own. Certificates from international schools, such as IGCSE results, are usually in English and need no translation. STPM grades and MUET bands are kept exactly as printed and are not converted.
For use abroad, Wisma Putra attests school certificates only after the Ministry of Education or a state Department of Education has endorsed them. USCIS does not require this; a school or evaluator might, so ask first. See the Malaysian academic transcript page, the MUET page and our Malay page. Malaysia does not issue apostilles, so this attestation is the route Malaysian authorities offer.
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 SPM certificate shows grades like 1A and 6C.
That is the older grading. We translate the grades exactly as printed.
Will you convert my SPM grades to US grades?
No. We translate them as printed; an evaluator decides equivalence.
Do I need my STPM certificate too?
Only if the school asks. It is a separate document and we translate it on its own.
