Apply for Halal Certification through MYeHALAL: Step by Step

From the applicant account to the decision of the Panel Pensijilan Halal (Halal Certification Panel).

Last reviewed 5 November 2026

Only once the restaurant genuinely meets the basic requirements and has the records needed should you go into MYeHALAL to make the official application.

Step 1 — Register or log in to your account

Use valid business details. Make sure the company name, registration number, operating address and contact person are consistent with your supporting documents.

Step 2 — Choose the right scheme

For a single restaurant or café outlet, choose Premis Makanan (Food Premises) → Restoran/Kafe (Restaurant/Café) (the actual field names may change with the version of the interface). Do not pick food product certification or the chain scheme by mistake.

Step 3 — Enter your operating data

Fill in the details of the premises, the operator, the full menu, raw materials/ingredients, manufacturers and suppliers. Make sure the menu shown to customers matches the list in the application.

Step 4 — Submit supporting documents

Upload the documents the system currently asks for, including licences, training certificates, worker records, evidence for raw materials and the relevant halal management documents.

Step 5 — Review, fees and audit

The authority will check that the application is complete. The RM20 processing fee is separate from the certification fee of RM100 a year for a restaurant/café. Follow the payment notice issued; do not pay unofficial parties.

The audit may involve a document review and an on-site inspection. The auditor may choose one dish, then ask for evidence for the ingredients in it.

Step 6 — Corrective action and decision

If there is an NCR (Non-Conformance Report), read the details, fix the root cause of the problem and submit evidence within the period given. The final decision is made according to the authority's process and the Panel Pensijilan Halal Malaysia (Malaysia Halal Certification Panel).

MYeHALAL application flow for a restaurantYou register or log in to MYeHALAL, choose Food Premises then Restaurant/Café, fill in all menus, ingredients, suppliers and premises, and upload documents. If the completeness check finds something missing, you correct it and it is checked again; once complete, a fee notice is issued and paid, then the documents and premises are audited. If there is an NCR, you carry out and prove the correction and follow up as instructed before the panel decides; if not, it goes straight to the panel. If approved you receive the SPHM or e-Cert; if not, you follow the official decision and action.Needs moreCompleteYesNoYesNo

Remember: private websites or consultants cannot promise a halal certificate automatically. A complete application also does not mean automatic approval.
