The Vehicle Ownership Certificate

Malaysian vehicles are registered by the Road Transport Department (JPJ). Since 2016 JPJ has issued a Vehicle Ownership Certificate (Sijil Pemilikan Kenderaan, VOC) in place of the older registration card, which many Malaysians still call the geran. The VOC records the registered owner and the vehicle's identifying details. Older registration cards may still turn up in family files, and we translate either.

Ownership of a used private vehicle passes only through JPJ. The government portal says the vehicle must first pass an inspection at PUSPAKOM or an approved inspection centre, and both the registered owner and the buyer must attend JPJ for biometric fingerprint verification within seven days. A sale agreement between the parties is not the transfer itself. Records of these steps are separate documents.

What a DMV or shipper reads

If you are importing a Malaysian vehicle or proving ownership in the US, the office needs to match the VOC to the vehicle. We copy the registration, chassis and engine numbers exactly, character by character, and translate every field label and note. Where a bank's ownership claim or a restriction is noted, we translate it as printed. Dates are kept in their original order.

Import rules are set by US federal agencies and each state's DMV decides about titling; ask them what they need. See our DMV translation page, the Malaysian driver's license page and our Malay page. If you also have the sale agreement, inspection report or JPJ transfer record, we translate them as separate documents so each keeps its own reference numbers.

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 father still has an old registration card.

We translate it as it is. Newer owners hold a Vehicle Ownership Certificate instead.

Do you check the chassis number?

We copy it exactly as printed. Matching it to the vehicle is for the receiving office.

Is a sale agreement enough to prove ownership?

In Malaysia, ownership passes through JPJ. The VOC is the ownership record.
