Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention, therefore all Malaysian public documents need to be legalized in order to be able to use them in Hungarian administrative proceedings. The diplomatic legalization can be obtained at the Consular Office in Kuala Lumpur upon request. Before submitting the original Malaysian document for diplomatic legalization to the Consular Office, the clients must obtain the attestation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia, which verifies the specimen signature and seal of the issuing Malaysian authority. Further information regarding the attestation procedure at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia: https://www.kln.gov.my/web/guest/attestation-of-documents.
During the diplomatic legalization, the consular officer affixes a clause on the document certifying that the signature and seal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia on the document are genuine. If there is any doubt about the authenticity of the signature and seal or the authenticity of the document itself, the consular officer will refuse to issue the diplomatic legalization.

The application for diplomatic legalization can be submitted in person at the Consular Office based on a prior appointment.
