Legalising Malaysian Documents for the Czech Republic (Superlegalisation)
Short answer: most Malaysian official documents have no legal effect in the Czech Republic until they are superlegalised. Have the original attested at Wisma Putra (Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs), book by email, and take it to the Czech Embassy in Kuala Lumpur (Tuesday and Thursday, 9 am to 12 pm), which superlegalises it on the spot for 1,200 CZK or the ringgit equivalent in cash. The document then needs a certified Czech translation.
We prepare documents for the Czech Embassy: notarisation where needed, Wisma Putra attestation and English translations of Malay documents. Send your document on WhatsApp for a quote.

Step by step
Use the original. The embassy superlegalises originals, "NOT a certified copy or a printed scan".
Attest it at Wisma Putra. Exception: documents issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself, such as the Certificate of Good Conduct, "do not need to be further legalized by the MFA".
Book by email at kualalumpur.consulate@mzv.gov.cz, one email per adult. The embassy asks applicants not to send requests repeatedly or in several parts.
Deliver it in person on Tuesday or Thursday, 9 am to 12 pm. Anyone may bring the document, but the embassy does not accept post or courier.
Pay 1,200 CZK by card on a Czech terminal, or the ringgit equivalent in cash. Birth, marriage and death certificates used to register a life event in the Czech Republic are half price. Superlegalisation is "usually immediately" done.
Get a certified Czech translation. "The Embassy does not offer translation services." See certified Czech translation.
No further step is needed in the Czech Republic: the superlegalised document can be used there directly, but only there.
What gets documents refused
Certified copies or printed scans instead of the original.
A missing Wisma Putra stamp.
Documents sent by post or courier.
Incomplete or repeated appointment emails.
A foreign card declined by the Czech payment terminal; bring ringgit as a backup.
Czech documents for use in Malaysia
A Czech apostille is not recognised in Malaysia. Czech civil-registry documents are first verified by a municipal or regional authority, court and notarial documents by the Ministry of Justice, and diplomas by the Ministry of Education. The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs then legalises them (600 CZK per document, usually the same day, no appointment needed), followed by the Malaysian Embassy in Prague. Malaysian agencies also need an English or Malay translation by a translator Wisma Putra accepts.
Informace v češtině
Malajsijské doklady pro Českou republiku: originál nejprve ověří malajsijské ministerstvo zahraničí (Wisma Putra). Poté Velvyslanectví ČR v Kuala Lumpur provede superlegalizaci: objednání e-mailem na kualalumpur.consulate@mzv.gov.cz, úterý a čtvrtek 9–12 hodin, poplatek 1 200 Kč nebo ekvivalent v ringgitech v hotovosti, obvykle na počkání. Velvyslanectví nepřijímá kopie, vytištěné skeny ani zásilky poštou. Poté je potřeba úřední překlad do češtiny.
České doklady pro Malajsii ověřuje nejprve příslušný úřad, poté Ministerstvo zahraničních věcí ČR a následně Velvyslanectví Malajsie v Praze; apostila v Malajsii neplatí. Máte dotaz? Napište nám na WhatsApp (+60 17-227 9378).
Common questions
Is superlegalisation the same as an apostille?
No. Malaysia does not issue apostilles, so the Czech Embassy adds its own superlegalisation clause after Wisma Putra. See apostille in Malaysia.
How much does it cost?
The Czech Embassy in Kuala Lumpur charges 1,200 CZK per document, or the ringgit equivalent in cash; half price for civil-status documents used to register a life event. Older Czech government pages still show 600 CZK, so check before you go.
Can I post my documents to the embassy?
No. They must be delivered in person, though anyone can deliver them for you.
Does my Certificate of Good Conduct need Wisma Putra?
No. Documents issued by Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs go straight to the Czech Embassy.
