Malaysia is not a signatory of the Vienna Convention on the "Apostille". Therefore, legalization is required for documents sought to have legal validity in Mexico.
Legalization is performed by the consular section of the Embassy of Mexico. However, the Embassy assumes no responsibility for the contents of the legalized documents.
Documents issued by Malaysian government authorities require authentication by the Consular Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to be legalized. Documents issued by private institutions need the previous certification from a duly authorized Notary Public and authentication by the Consular Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Documents for authentication of signatures are as follows:
All kinds of certificates issued in Malaysia, such as Birth Certificates, Married Certificates, Divorce Certificates, Company Registration Certificates, Commercial Invoices, etc. These should be duly signed first by Public Notary and after by the Officer in charge of legalization in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia (Wisma Putra).
Documents or certificates translated into Spanish by sworn (registered) translators should be duly signed and sealed by the translator.
The legalization process takes five working days.
