Land titles under the National Land Code

Land in Peninsular Malaysia is held under titles registered by state and district land offices under the National Land Code. Penang's Land and Mines Office explains the types: Geran (GRN), Pajakan Negeri (PN) and the qualified Hakmilik Sementara Daftar are kept at the state Land and Mines Office, while Geran Mukim, Pajakan Mukim and Hakmilik Sementara Mukim are kept at the district land office. A Geran is a grant and a Pajakan a lease from the state.

A qualified title is one whose boundaries have not yet been finally surveyed; a final title has been surveyed by the survey department. The owner holds the issue document of title (Dokumen Hakmilik Keluaran Berkomputer), while the register copy stays at the land office. Apartments carry strata titles. We translate the title type literally and keep the title and lot numbers exactly.

Leases, charges and endorsements

Dealings are registered on the title itself: transfers, charges to a bank, leases, easements, tenancies and liens. A lease of a whole parcel can run up to 99 years, and of part of a parcel up to 30. Each endorsement on the title is translated in order with its presentation number and date, so the chain of dealings stays readable.

Titles from Sabah and Sarawak may look different; we translate whatever form you hold. A sale and purchase agreement is a separate contract, often in English, and does not replace the title. See the Malaysian lease agreement page and our Malay page. Ask the receiving office which document it needs; we translate the title, the agreement or both, and keep lot numbers and areas exactly as written.

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.
