What our reviewers know about your documents
Malay is written in the Latin (Rumi) alphabet, while Jawi, an Arabic-based script, appears on religious and some older documents. Non-Muslim marriages are registered by the National Registration Department, while Muslim marriages and divorces are handled by state Islamic religious departments and Syariah courts; Verdacert translates both and names the issuing authority. Malay names use a patronymic (bin or binti plus the father's name) rather than a family surname, which the translation explains for USCIS form alignment. The 12-digit MyKad number, which encodes the date of birth, is transcribed exactly. Dates use the day-month-year order.
Common source countries: Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore.
