For USCIS and many official applications, a basic translation is not enough. You need a certified translation: a complete English translation of the original document, along with a signed Certificate of Accuracy.
Many records issued by the Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara, or JPN, and other Malaysian or Singaporean authorities include bilingual content, but official seals, marginal entries, legal headers, registrar remarks, and annotations may still appear only in Malay. Those details matter. Our Malay translation service ensures every visible element is translated clearly and completely, so your documents are ready for formal submission.

Malay is used across a wide range of civil, legal, academic, and government records throughout Southeast Asia. Whether your documents come from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Singapore, or another location, accurate translation is essential when those records support a visa, green card, school application, legal filing, or employment process.
Our certified translation process relies on native-speaking linguists with experience in Malay document translation services and official terminology used by regional institutions. We pay close attention to name spelling, document structure, bilingual fields, stamps, seals, and specialized legal or religious terms, including those found in Surat Nikah and related marriage records, so your translation reads clearly and matches the source faithfully.

I used Motaword for a certified translation of documents I needed for visa purposes. I received their contact details from my Immigration Lawyer. It was an easy, fast, and seamless experience. I strongly recommend their services.

I submitted a document that needed urgent translation to multiple providers, but Motaword was the only one that could complete it in time, and their support was very responsive and helpful. The USCIS office accepted the certified translation. I will be a customer again.
