What the Indian part of the attestation looks like

Before the Embassy of Malaysia, every document goes through the same Indian offices. This is a real certificate after them: the notary, the SDM and the MEA. The Embassy of Malaysia then adds its own attestation; a sample with its stamp is not shown here yet.

Good to know

  • Embassy attestation, not apostille

    Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention. An apostille is not enough: the document needs the stamp of the Embassy of Malaysia.

  • For a dependant visa

    For a resident or dependant visa, personal documents such as the marriage certificate, the birth certificate and the medical certificate are attested.

  • Two routes to the MEA

    An educational certificate reaches the MEA through the HRD of its state, or through notary and SDM. A personal document goes through the Home Department or the SDM. We tell you which one fits your document.
