Issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not the police

Malaysia's police certificate is the Certificate of Good Conduct, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra), its regional offices and Malaysian missions abroad. Applications are made online through the ministry's e-Konsular system, and the certificate is collected in print or downloaded as a digital certificate; the State Department puts processing at one to three months. Foreigners qualify after six consecutive months in Malaysia on a long-term pass, and it is not issued to people without permitted status there.

The State Department describes the format: a letterhead with the Malaysian coat of arms, addressed To Whom It May Concern and signed for the Secretary General of the Ministry. Since 1 March 2025 certificates carry a QR code. Those issued at the ministry are on beige paper with two digital seals; those from regional offices and missions carry one round wet seal and a wet signature.

Often already in English

The wording the State Department quotes is English, and many certificates need no translation at all for a US office. Look at yours: if every line, seal and note is in English, do not order a translation. If a stamp, seal or annotation is in Malay, those elements must be translated, and we translate the whole certificate so the officer reads one consistent document.

For an immigrant visa, the State Department's reciprocity page for Malaysia sets out what the consulate expects, and court and prison records are available only in limited ways. See what the NVC asks for, the Malaysian passport page and our Malay page. If you apply from outside Malaysia, the Malaysian mission where you live can issue the certificate, and its wet seal carries the mission's name.

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.
