The consular officer authenticates translations prepared by the Consular Office or the client/translator and authenticates them by issuing a certificate. The certificate is issued in the form of an authentication clause, which verifies that the translation is identical in content and equivalent in meaning to the original text. Such certified true translations can be used as authentic translations in proceedings before any Hungarian authority, however, before using Hungarian documents abroad, it is advisable to find out what kind of translation the competent foreign authority accepts for official proceedings. Languages available for certified true translation at the Consular Office: Hungarian, English, Bahasa Malaysia.

The consular officer will refuse to certify the translation of documents not related to consular proceedings or requiring special language skills. For documents not related to consular proceedings, the Hungarian Office for Translation and Attestation (http://www.offi.hu/) or the Malaysian Institute of Translation & Books (https://www.itbm.com.my/en/) may provide certified true translation.
