Malay-Jawi Sijil Nikah, Surat Cerai & Malay-Rumi Muslim Marriage Certificates | AUD$60 per document |
The fee for the translation of all Malay-Jawi and Malay-Rumi Muslim Marriage Certificates ( with/without the 'Lafaz Takliq' ) is AUD$60 per document.
The fee for the transliteration of these certificates from Malay-Jawi (Arabic script Malay) to Malay-Rumi (Romanised Malay) only (without an English translation) is charged at AUD$50 per document.
In all cases, please provide the exact spelling of all the names, addresses and other unique words or names found written in the document, as it is impossible to determine their respective Romanised versions from the Jawi text, e.g. ‘Muhammad’ in Malay-Jawi can be spelt as ‘Mohamed’, ‘Muhamad’, ‘Mohammad’. Other names have different spelling forms in Rumi; Rashid, Rasheed, Syukri, Shukri, Noor, Nur, Mariam, Maryam, etc. while place names have different spellings for the same word in Malay-Rumi, e.g. Tanjong, Tanjung, Air Hitam, Ayer Hitam, Ayer Itam, Pasir Putih, Pasir Puteh, etc.
We need you to confirm the correct spelling to avoid any problems arising from variations in our interpretation of a Jawi word into Rumi which may be different from how it is spelled in Rumi in your other related identity documents.
