Attesting Malaysian Documents for Oman

Written By Zhihan Chew

Short answer: Oman joined the Apostille Convention in 2011, but Malaysia is not a party, so a Malaysian document cannot carry an apostille. It is attested through the embassy chain instead: Wisma Putra (Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then the Embassy of the Sultanate of Oman in Kuala Lumpur, then Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose attestation is now handled by Oman Post at its branches or online. The Ministry charges OMR 10 for a study certificate, marriage contract, death certificate or certificate of non-conviction, and OMR 30 for commercial registration and other company certificates.

We handle the Malaysian side: endorsements, notarisation, Wisma Putra and the Oman Embassy, plus English and Arabic translations of Malay documents. Send your document on WhatsApp for a quote.

Step by step

  1. Get the Malaysian endorsement first. Private documents such as powers of attorney, affidavits and company resolutions are signed before a notary public. Degrees and transcripts follow the endorsement steps in our degree attestation guide.

  2. Attest it at Wisma Putra. Wisma Putra confirms the Malaysian signature or seal. Its fee is RM 20 for civil-status, notarised and Certificate of Good Conduct documents, and RM 10 for translations, certified true copies and school certificates.

  3. Attest it at the Embassy of the Sultanate of Oman in Kuala Lumpur. The embassy lists "certificate and document endorsement services" but does not publish its requirements or fees online. Confirm them by email at kualalumpur@fm.gov.om, or let us arrange it.

  4. Attest it at Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry says "All services are now provided via Oman Post, either electronically or through its selected branches." This step is done in Oman, by you, your employer or your agent.

  5. Translate it if the Omani office needs Arabic. See Arabic translation for Oman.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs fees in Oman

  • OMR 10: study certificate, marriage contract, death certificate, certificate of non-conviction, certificate of experience or employment.

  • OMR 20: divorce certificate.

  • OMR 30: commercial registration, chamber of commerce membership and other company certificates, and certificates not listed elsewhere.

  • OMR 20 to 60: commercial contracts and agencies; trade invoices from OMR 50 by value.

Fees are from the Ministry's attestation page; check it before you pay, as Oman Post may add its own administrative fee.

Malaysian documents that often need attesting for Oman

  • Degrees and transcripts, for employment and professional registration.

  • The Certificate of Good Conduct, which Oman's fee list calls a certificate of non-conviction.

  • Birth and marriage certificates from JPN, for family joining a worker in Oman.

  • Company documents, powers of attorney and certificates of origin, for business and trade.

What delays documents

  • Going to the Oman Embassy before Wisma Putra. The embassy attests Wisma Putra's stamp, so Wisma Putra comes first.

  • Stopping at the embassy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs step in Oman, through Oman Post, is still needed.

  • A photocopy without certification by a notary or the issuing office.

  • A Malay document sent without a translation.

  • A name spelled differently on the passport, the certificates and the translation.

Common questions

Can I get an apostille on a Malaysian document for Oman?

No. Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so Malaysian offices do not issue apostilles. Wisma Putra, the Oman Embassy and Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs take its place.

Where is the Oman Embassy in Malaysia?

No. 17, Jalan Kedondong, Ampang Hilir, 55000 Kuala Lumpur. Email kualalumpur@fm.gov.om or call +60 3-4257 7375 to confirm attestation requirements and fees before you go.

Is the attestation finished at the embassy?

No. After the Oman Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, the document is attested by Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs through Oman Post, in Oman.
