谁可以在马来西亚认证文件副本？

在马来西亚，公众常常误解宣誓专员（Commissioner for Oaths）的职责。虽然宣誓专员被授权见证法定声明和宣誓书的签署，但他们并没有被授权认证文件副本的真实性。这一限制尤为重要，特别是对于需要经过正式认证文件的申请，如签证申请、大学入学或某些法律程序。

宣誓专员不得认证文件副本的规定，载于联邦法院于2005年6月13日发布的实践指引（Practice Direction）。该指引明确指出，宣誓专员无权将文件副本认证为原件的真实副本。

若需要认证文件副本，可寻求以下合法人士的帮助：

律师（Advocates & Solicitors）：
在马来西亚执业的律师可以验证文件副本与原件相符，通常会在副本上签名盖章，确认其真实性。此项授权来自于(2016年律师酬金（修正）令) Solicitors' Remuneration (Amendment) Order 2016)，该法令允许律师收取费用进行文件认证。

公证人（Notary Public）：
公证人通常是根据《1959年公证人法令》（Notaries Public Act 1959）任命的资深律师，可对国内或国际使用的文件进行认证。若文件需提交给国外机构，通常需要公证人的认证。

A Commissioner for Oaths CANNOT Certify True Copies of Documents in Malaysia

In Malaysia, the role of a Commissioner for Oaths is often misunderstood. While Commissioners are authorized to witness the signing of statutory declarations and affidavits, they are not permitted to certify true copies of documents. This limitation is important, especially for individuals dealing with applications that require officially certified documents, such as visa submissions, university admissions, or certain legal processes.

The prohibition against Commissioners for Oaths certifying true copies is specified in the Federal Court’s Practice Direction dated 13th June 2005. This directive explicitly states that Commissioners for Oaths are not authorized to certify documents as true copies of the original.

For the certification of true copies, the proper authorities include:

Solicitors (Advocates & Solicitors):
Practicing lawyers in Malaysia can verify that a photocopy of a document is a true copy of the original. They typically stamp and sign the copy, confirming its authenticity. This authority is granted under the Solicitors' Remuneration (Amendment) Order 2016, which allows lawyers to certify documents for a fee.

Notary Publics:
A notary public, who is usually a senior lawyer appointed under the Notaries Public Act 1959, can certify documents for use both domestically and internationally. Their certification is often required for documents intended for foreign authorities.
