Apostille & Legalization for Malaysia
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in Malaysia: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
Malaysia is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the Malaysia embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to Malaysia — for employment and MM2H residency, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before Malaysia authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what Malaysia requires and how we handle it end to end.
