SHARED STANDARDS
Applies Across All Services
Client Privacy
All information disclosed in the course of an engagement is held in confidence. Client data is managed in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (Malaysia).
Reliable Timelines
We advise on realistic timeframes at the enquiry stage, including the processing times of government bodies where applicable. We do not speculate with timelines we cannot control.
Official Register
Every attestation is entered in the official register, providing a contemporaneous record if a question about the document arises at a later date with the receiving authority.
Identity Verification
Identity is verified against original documents before every attestation. This is a legal requirement and a safeguard against the document being challenged on procedural grounds.
Bar Council Oversight
Practice is conducted under the Legal Profession Act 1976 and the applicable rules governing notarial practice and commissioners for oaths in Malaysia.
Pre-Review Included
Every document receives a brief review for technical completeness before attestation proceeds. Defects identified at this stage are far less disruptive than those discovered at the foreign authority.
