Embassy Attestation
Birth Certificate Attestation for Malaysia from India
A birth certificate for Malaysia is an embassy attestation file. Malaysia is not a Hague Apostille country, so the chain has one extra step. SDM or Home Department first, then MEA in Delhi, then attestation by the Malaysian Embassy in New Delhi. English-language Indian birth certificates are accepted by Malaysian Immigration without translation in most cases.
A birth certificate for Malaysia is an embassy attestation file. Malaysia is not a Hague Apostille country, so the chain has one extra step. SDM or Home Department first, then MEA in Delhi, then attestation by the Malaysian Embassy in New Delhi. English-language Indian birth certificates are accepted by Malaysian Immigration without translation in most cases.
Most birth certificate files for Malaysia are for family situations. A child joining an Employment Pass holder in Kuala Lumpur or Penang. A dependent child added to a Dependent Pass under the EP main applicant. An MM2H family file where the principal applicant brings spouse and children. Or a child being admitted to a Malaysian international school. Malaysian Immigration matches the birth certificate against the parents passport and the child passport, so names and dates have to line up exactly.
On the India side, the issuing authority (municipal corporation, panchayat, or sub-registrar) needs to be clearly visible on the certificate. Old or laminated certificates without a clear seal are best replaced with a fresh certified copy from the same authority before the chain begins. If the parents name on the certificate is different from the passport, a Tehsildar-issued One and Same Certificate is the right fix before the chain starts.

How SiZA Runs the Embassy Chain
Before any original is sent through MEA and the destination embassy, SiZA confirms the correct chain order, the Arabic translation timing, and the MOFA expectation at the destination.
What to send first

Confirm the right process
SiZA checks whether the file needs apostille, embassy attestation, HRD/Home, Chamber, translation, visa documentation, or a combined process.
Handle and update
Once the scope is clear, the file moves through the required steps with practical updates by WhatsApp or email.
Proof and return
After completion, SiZA shares completion proof, confirms payment and courier preference, then packs and dispatches the document safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is embassy attestation?
Embassy attestation is the India-side legalisation route for countries that are NOT members of the Hague Apostille Convention, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, and a smaller set of others. The Indian document goes through state-level authentication (SDM, HRD, Home Department, or Chamber of Commerce depending on document type), then MEA attestation, then attestation at the destination country's embassy or consulate in India. UAE MOFA attestation now also happens in India alongside the UAE Embassy step.
