As Malaysia is not a signatory to the Apostille Convention, most Malaysia documents destined for use in Italy go through the process of a) notarization, b) authentication by the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and c) legalization by the Embassy of Italy in Kuala Lumpur.
As in the case of many European embassies these days, appointments are made online. The embassy’s website is at ambkualalumpur.esteri.it The website contains both an Italian and English version. Click on “Prenota Online” to register and fix an appointment. The fee is RM111, payable in cash only, as at the date of writing.
Should you have any queries, they can be emailed to the consular office at cons2.kualalumpur@esteri.it
Sara Alessandri, Ufficio Consolare, will be able to provide prompt and useful guidance on documentation and other requirements.
