2. FAQs
2.1 What does Certified Translation mean? How is it different from non-certified translation?
In India, Certified Translation is provided by a sworn translator or interpreter in front of a court, after making the following oath:
“I do swear in the name of God that I will well and truly interpret and explain all questions put to solemnly affirm and evidence given by witnesses and translate correctly and accurately all documents given to me for translation [2].”
For documents issued in Malaysia to be used in India, the High Court Interpreter’s stamp would suffice and no such oath needs to be made [3].
The Malaysian High Court Interpreters are governed by the Practising Certificates Unit and supervised by the High Court of Malaya [4].
A translation is considered certified when it is registered with the High Court. A certified translation is authoritative in a court of law.
2.2 Why does Certified Translation take so long even for documents with just a few words?
Each certified translation goes through five steps: text extraction and formatting, translation, a first review, layout that mirrors the original, and a final review before it is signed and stamped. Each step is done or checked by a qualified translator, so even a one-page document takes time. For urgent documents, see our same-day certified translation service in Kuala Lumpur.
2.3 Can I submit a softcopy or photocopy of the Certified Translation to the High Commission of India in Kuala Lumpur?
No. The High Commission of India in Kuala Lumpur only accepts Certified Translation with the original High Court stamp.
