Step 1 - Legalization by Wisma Putra/Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The respective document must first be legalized by the Consular Section of the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wisma Putra in Putrajaya.
The Ministry will only stamp the original certificate, not a true certified copy of the document. For further information on the procedure and possible fees please contact the Ministry directly:

Step 2 - Translation

In most cases a translation of the document is necessary as well. The translation should be done after the legalization via Wisma Putra to ensure that the stamp is translated as well.

Step 3 - Get the legalization done at the German Embassy

The legalization is done on the spot during our counter opening hours. You will have to book an appointment before coming to the Embassy. You have to present the original certificate that was legalized and stamped by Wisma Putra.
