Section 1: Malaysia Embassy London Legalization UK

Did you know that Malaysia has the biggest roundabout in the world, nearly 3.5 km in diameter? This roundabout is located in Putrajaya, near the Prime Minister's office. Be it wildlife, tea plantations, diving or exploring spectacular modern architecture, Malaysia offers you a plethora of reasons to plan a visit.

Malaysia is an emerging market in Asia, offering a large number of business opportunities for locals and foreign nationals alike. UK nationals don’t usually need a visa to visit Malaysia. You are allowed to stay in the country for 3 months on arrival. However, you need to submit legalised business documents if you are in the country to work or for business. The legalisation of UK documents for use overseas is known as attestation. Attestation usually takes place at the London embassy of the specific country where the documents need to be presented.

So, if you are visiting Malaysia, you would require legalisation of documents by the Malaysia embassy in London. However, to be attested at the embassy, the documents might require solicitor certification and an apostille stamp. The process can be cumbersome and it is best to hire the services of an experienced and reliable legalization service.

Section 2: General Queries About Malaysia Embassy London Legalization UK

1. Why Do UK Documents Need Attestation to be Used in Malaysia?

The Hague Convention of 1961 established the process of legalisation of documents with an apostille certificate, to prove their authenticity for use in a country other than the one that issued the document. So, all member countries of this treaty accept the apostille stamp as a certificate of authenticity of UK documents. However, Malaysia is not a member of the Hague Convention and, therefore, requires attestation by its own authorised personnel in London before any document can be accepted by the authorities in Malaysia.

2. What Information is required to Get Your UK Documents Legalised for Malaysia?

To send the documents to the Malaysian High Commission for attestation, a UK citizen have to fill an application form. However, the Malaysian High Commission in London will only accept documents that have the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) apostille certificate attached to them. The documents are verified by the signatories of the embassy’s consular team, verifying the documents for signatures, stamps, and information. Missing out on any important aspect can cause delays. Therefore, it is best to hire to use a legalisation firm like Rapid Legalisation Services (RLS), with past experience in obtaining certificate attestation from the Malaysia embassy. This way, you gain a smooth and hassle-free experience of document legalisation.

3. For What Situations Will I Require Malaysia Embassy Legalisation of UK Documents?

  • Signing business agreements in Malaysia
