Tenancy agreements and stamp duty
Malaysian residential tenancy agreements are private contracts and may be drafted in English, Malay or both. A tenancy agreement is an instrument chargeable with stamp duty under the Stamp Act 1949. According to the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), it must be submitted for stamping within 30 days of signing, or within 30 days of first being received in Malaysia if signed abroad, and stamping makes it admissible as evidence.
Once duty is paid, LHDN issues a Stamp Certificate, which is printed and attached to the agreement as proof of stamping. When a US office asks for your Malaysian lease, send the agreement with its Stamp Certificate. We translate both, with every reference number. If your agreement was stamped under an older system, its proof of stamping looks different; we translate whatever proof it carries.
Long leases and what a US office reads
Longer interests are a different matter. A registered lease of land is endorsed on the land title and can run up to 99 years for a whole parcel. A tenancy can also be endorsed on the title. If your document is a registered lease rather than a rental contract, see the Malaysian property deed page. Lease terms, rent and dates are copied exactly.
US offices usually want a lease as proof of a past address or of a joint household. If your agreement is in English, it needs no translation, though any Malay stamp or certificate on it does. Where it is in Malay, we translate the whole agreement, including schedules and signature blocks. See our Malay page. Signatures and witness details are kept.
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.
