Do documents from abroad need to be legalised for a Malaysian company?

For individual founders, certified passport and address copies are usually enough. Documents of a foreign corporate shareholder, such as its certificate of incorporation, often need to be notarised and legalised. Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so an apostille alone may not be accepted; we confirm the route for your country first.
