Pricing starts from S$25 per page.
That is the direct answer.
But if you want to know exactly what to send, what format ICA needs, what other documents need translation at the same time, and how to avoid delays at this final stage — keep reading.
Why Does Malaysian Form K Need a Certified Translation for ICA?
Borang K is the official Malaysian government form for renouncing Malaysian citizenship. It is written fully in Bahasa Malaysia.
ICA Singapore requires all non-English documents to have a certified English translation before they accept your submission. So even though Form K is a Malaysian government document — ICA will not process it without an English version attached.
This is not optional. It is a hard requirement.
And the Malaysian Form K translation must be done by a certified translator — not Google Translate, not a bilingual friend. ICA checks this. A translation that does not meet their format gets rejected — and that delays your entire citizenship registration.
What Must a Certified Malaysian Form K Translation Include?
Not every translation service in Singapore qualifies for ICA submission. Your Borang K translation must include:
- Full name and credentials of the certified translator
- A signed statement confirming the Form K translation is accurate
- Official company stamp or letterhead
- Date of translation
If any of these are missing, ICA can reject your document and send you back.
This is why going to a specialist matters. ICA Translation Services prepares every Malaysian Form K translation in the exact format ICA expects — no rejections, no re-submissions, no wasted days.

Does Malaysian Form K Translation Need Notarisation for ICA?
For most standard Singapore citizenship applications, a certified Form K translation is all ICA needs.
Notarisation for Malaysian Form K is required only if:
- ICA specifically requests it in writing
- The document is being used for a court proceeding
- You are submitting the translation overseas
Not sure what you need? WhatsApp ICA Translation Services before you order. They will tell you exactly what level of certification applies to your specific case.
If notarisation is needed, their notarised translation service is done by a registered Notary Public in Singapore and takes 2 to 3 working days.

The Mistake People Make When Translating Malaysian Form K
The approved Borang K from the Malaysian government takes about 8 months to come back after submission. Many people think they need to wait for that approved copy before getting their Form K translation done.
You do not.
Get the certified English translation of your filled Borang K done as soon as you have it. ICA needs the translation of the form you completed and submitted — not the final approved copy from Kuala Lumpur.
Translating Malaysian Form K early means one less thing to rush when ICA calls you in for your citizenship registration date.
