Do Families Need to Visit the Malaysian High Commission?

Yes. The next-of-kin will still need to personally visit the High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore for certain verification and documentation procedures.

However, Singapore Funeral Committee will prepare all paperwork beforehand and arrange the appointment for you, making the process easier and less stressful during this emotional period.

We will carefully guide families step-by-step on what documents are required and what to expect during the embassy appointment.

Documents Required for Repatriation to Malaysia from Singapore

According to the High Commission of Malaysia in Singapore, the following documents are generally required for body repatriation to Malaysia from Singapore:

• Singapore Death Certificate – 2 original copies legalized by Singapore Academy of Law
• Malaysian Identity Card of the deceased – Original and 2 copies
• Singapore PR Card, Work Permit, Employment Pass, or S Pass – Original and 2 copies

Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) Legalisation Process

Before the documents can be submitted to the High Commission of Malaysia, the Singapore death certificate must first be legalized by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL).

For many families, repatriation to Malaysia from Singapore may seem confusing because of the number of procedures involved. Our funeral directors will guide you through every step carefully to avoid delays and unnecessary stress.

After the High Commission issues the Letter of Confirmation of Death Abroad, the next-of-kin should bring the document and original death certificate to the National Registration Department in Malaysia to update the deceased’s records.

All repatriation to Malaysia from Singapore cases require professional embalming and sealing procedures to comply with transportation and health regulations.

Our professional embalming team prepares the deceased respectfully according to international transportation standards. Depending on the destination, transportation may be arranged via:
