Malay Document Legalization Dubai – Complete UAE & Malaysia Process

Neither Malaysia nor the UAE is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. This means that an Apostille is not valid for documents intended for use in Malaysia and/or the UAE. All documents must go through full consular legalization. 

Here’s what this process entails;

For Malaysian documents to be used in the UAE

  • Document Preparation: Get the original document from the issuing authority in Malaysia (e.g., JPN, PDRM, SSM, or your university). 
  • Notarization in Malaysia (if required): Have your original document or a certified true copy notarized by a Notary Public in Malaysia. This step confirms the authenticity of the signature and seal on the document.
  • Certified Translation: If your document is not in Arabic, contact us for a professional Arabic translation performed by a MOJ-approved translator in the UAE.
  • Authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia (MOFA Malaysia): Submit the notarized document (and translation, if applicable) to MOFA Malaysia for authentication. 
  • Legalization by the UAE Embassy in Kuala Lumpur: Present the MOFA-authenticated document to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in Malaysia. This step legalizes the document for official use in the UAE.
  • Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA UAE): Once in the UAE, submit the legalized document to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This final attestation makes the document legally recognized throughout the UAE.

For UAE documents to be used in Malaysia

  • Document Preparation: Get the original document from the issuing authority in the UAE (e.g., Ministry of Education, court, or company). 
  • Notarization in the UAE (if required): Have the document notarized by a licensed Notary Public in the UAE. This step confirms the authenticity of the signature and seal on the document.
  • Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA UAE): Submit the notarized document to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for attestation. 
  • Certified Translation: If the document is not in Malay or English, reach out to us for a certified Malay translation valid for use in Malaysia. 
  • Legalization by the Embassy of Malaysia in the UAE: Present the MOFA-attested document (and translation) to the Embassy of Malaysia in Abu Dhabi or the Consulate General in Dubai. This step legalizes the document for use in Malaysia.
  • Authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia (MOFA Malaysia): After arriving in Malaysia, submit the document to MOFA Malaysia for final authentication. This confirms that the UAE legalization is genuine and accepted in Malaysia.

About the Malay Language

Malay, known locally as Bahasa Melayu, is an Austronesian language spoken by over 290 million people across Southeast Asia. It serves as the official language of Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore, and is closely related to Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), which is the standardized form used in Indonesia.

When it comes to complexity, Malay is known for its agglutinative nature, where prefixes and suffixes are added to root words to modify meaning. While it uses the Latin alphabet today, older documents may appear in Jawi (Arabic script), which poses additional challenges for translators.  Legal, academic, and technical terms often have no direct equivalent in English or Arabic.

Because of these linguistic and cultural nuances, errors in Malay translations can lead to serious issues, such as:

  • Misinterpretation of formal or legal terms, especially when translating from Jawi or older Malay texts.
  • Literal translation of culturally specific expressions, leading to confusion or inaccuracy in contracts or certificates.
  • Mistranslation of government or institutional terminology, such as Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) for “Companies Commission of Malaysia.”
  • Errors in name transliteration, especially when matching Malay and Arabic scripts for official use in the UAE.
  • Submitting uncertified translations, which may be rejected by embassies, ministries, or courts.

 

Working with an experienced, certified Malay translation agency in Dubai ensures your documents are accurately translated, culturally appropriate, and fully compliant with both UAE and Malaysian requirements.
