Attorney General Mohamed Apandi Ali said the women - from Indonesia and Vietnam - would be formally charged and could face death if convicted.
The women allegedly smeared a deadly chemical over Kim Jong-nam's face at a Malaysia airport earlier this month.
They have said they thought they were taking part in a TV prank.
"They will be charged in court under Section 302 of the penal code," the attorney general said, confirming that they would face a mandatory death sentence if found guilty.
He said no decision had yet been taken on whether to charge a North Korean man, who is also being held over the killing.
