Family File Rules: ICA Requirements For Malaysian Documents Translation
ICA has a short, clear rule on papers that are not in English. Your family file needs the original and an official English copy of each one. ICA also lists who may make that copy. Here we set each ICA rule beside what we do for Malaysian families. Please read your own ICA checklist too, because each pass has its own list.

Family Pricing For Malaysian Documents Translation For Singapore Citizenship
One certificate costs little, and a whole family set costs more. Here is the starting estimate, the extras an ICA file may need and the usual timing. Your quote lists every fee on its own line, so nothing is hidden. Prices are in ringgit, because all our translation work is done in Malaysia.
RM80

People In The File

Each Person's Passport Name Page
We copy each passport spelling, including bin, binti, a/l and a/p.

Avoid a returned file
Returned Files: Why ICA Rejected My Malaysian Document Translation
Most returned ICA files trip on simple, avoidable things. These are the reasons Malaysian applicants tell us about most often. They come from customer stories, not from an official ICA list. Each one costs weeks of waiting, so we check for all six before your English copies are signed. Your file then goes in right the first time.
-
Hospital Notice Sent, Not JPN
The hospital birth notice is not the registered certificate. ICA wants the JPN birth certificate instead.
We look at every paper first. We tell you early if the JPN certificate is missing.
-
Name Differs From The Passport
A name spelled one way on the birth record and another on the passport raises questions.
We follow the passport spelling and add a short note for any real difference.
-
Stamps And Jawi Left Out
Some translations skip JPN seals, margin notes or Jawi lines. The officer then sees gaps.
We translate every stamp, side note and Jawi line, and mark where each sits.
-
Only A Few Words Translated
A copy that explains only some Malay words is not a full translation.
We always translate the whole page, so the English copy mirrors the original.
-
Self-Made Or App Translation
A translation you make yourself, or from an app, is not on ICA's list of routes.
Our translator signs a formal statement, and the notary step follows when needed.
-
Private Copy With No Seal
ICA lists private translations only when attested or notarised. A plain private copy may come back.
We tell you about this step before you pay. We then arrange the notary for you.
Already had a file returned? Send us ICA's message with the paper. We show you what to change.

Notes from families
Grandparents, Spouses And Kids: Reviews Of Our LTVP Translation
These notes come from households in Malaysia and Singapore with real ICA dates to meet. Some sent one certificate for a child. Others sent a full set for three generations. Each family wanted the same thing: every name matching, every stamp covered and an English copy ready before the upload window closed. Here is how it went for them.

Doubts families ask us
Citizenship Papers And PR Doubts On ICA Translation Answered
Still not sure?
Send your question with the quote form. A translator replies, not a bot.
Ask your question
Must My ICA PR Papers Be Stamped In Singapore And Checked By SAL?
ICA accepts a notary public in Singapore or in the country that issued the paper. Your papers come from Malaysia, so a Malaysian notary fits that wording. SAL authentication is a Singapore notary step, so we do not arrange it. If your officer asks for SAL anyway, tell us before you order.
Is ICA Going To List Your Company As An Approved Translator?
No. ICA says it does not endorse any private translation company. It looks at the route instead: embassy, notary, or a private translation notarised or attested. We make the translation and arrange the notary step on request.
My Parents Need An LTVP. Must Their ICs Be Translated Along With Their Birth Certificates?
Your ICA checklist for that LTVP decides it. If the IC is listed and has Malay text on it, we translate it too. If it is not listed, you save that cost.
Which Divorce Paper Should I Send To ICA For My Singapore PR File?
Send the papers your ICA checklist names. Civil divorces usually have a decree, and Muslim divorces have a sijil cerai or Syariah court order. Show us what you hold, and we tell you which ones need English.
Can You Translate Only A Few Malay Words On My Birth Certificate For ICA?
We do not advise it. ICA expects a full translation of each non-English paper. A partial copy can lead to questions, so we translate the whole page, stamps included.
My Marriage Certificate For ICA Is Written In Jawi. Can You Still Help?
Yes. Our translators read Jawi and old kadi stamps often. Every line goes into English, and any truly unreadable word is marked as unclear.
Is The Seal Fee For My ICA File Shown In The Quote, Or Added Later?
It is shown in the quote, on its own line. The translation, the notary seal and any courier are listed separately. The whole total is clear before you pay anything.
Can I Upload The PDF To ICA While The Paper Copies Travel To Singapore?
Yes. The signed PDF reaches your email first, ready for upload. Paper copies follow by courier to your Singapore or Malaysian address if you need them.
My Wife's Birth Certificate Is From Vietnam. Will A Seal Done In Malaysia Work For ICA?
Maybe not. ICA's notary rule names Singapore or the country that issued the paper, and here that is Vietnam. We can still translate it, then you use a Singapore notary or that embassy's route. Ask us first, and we explain the options.
My Child's Student's Pass Needs A Birth Certificate In English. Is The JPN Copy Enough For ICA?
Send the JPN birth certificate, not the hospital notice. ICA wants the official record, plus an English copy through a listed route. We translate it with your child's passport spelling.
