The Myanmar Embassy works in English: Malay documents need a certified English translation, legalised with the document. We add Burmese when the office in Myanmar asks, and translate Burmese documents for use in Malaysia.

Myanmar does not use the apostille. Malaysian documents go through the Notary Public where needed, Wisma Putra and the Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Here is the chain, what gets refused and how Myanmar documents are used in Malaysia.

Doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and medical students: how Malaysian practising certificates, registration certificates and medical degrees are legalised for use abroad, and why the Certificate of Good Standing is not.

How Malaysian aviation certificates are attested for use abroad: CAAM, Wisma Putra and the embassy, plus CAAM pilot licence verification.

A Malaysian statutory declaration is made in Malay or English only. When it goes to a country that needs its own language, here is who translates it, in what order, and what gets it refused.

Malaysia has no sworn-translator register. Six checks to make before you hire a certified translation provider: accreditation, acceptance, legalisation, confidentiality, rejections and reviews.

Notarising is a Notary Public certifying a signature, oath or copy for use abroad. In Malaysia the Attorney General appoints notaries; a SAL notary is a Singapore notary whose certificates the Singapore Academy of Law authenticates by Apostille.
