The Bar Council Malaysia (“the Bar Council”) has by Circular No. 218/2022 dated 25 July 2022 and its FAQ dated 28 July 2022 laid down the guidelines on the Virtual or Remote Attestation or Witnessing of Execution of a Document by a Solicitor.
In attesting or witnessing the signing or execution of the document virtually or remotely, the Solicitor shall comply with any prevailing and applicable written law, or in the absence thereof, any conditions as may be determined by the Bar Council. In other words, the same conditions shall also be complied for the remote/virtual execution of documents to take place.
