Steps for Replacing a Lost or Stolen Passport
Step 1: Contact the American Citizens Services Section
Contact ACS as quickly as possible to report the loss in order to minimize the opportunity for someone else to use your passport for illicit purposes at:
Tel: (03) 2168-5000
Email: KLACS@state.gov
Step 2: Report the Theft or Loss to the Royal Malaysian Police
While the U.S. Embassy does not require a police report to replace a lost or stolen passport, you should report the theft or loss to the Royal Malaysian Police. The police report will assist you with replacing your Malaysian visa and/or obtaining permission from the Malaysian authorities to depart the country.
Step 3: Schedule an Appointment
Appointments are required for all passport services. To make or cancel an appointment, please visit Make an Appointment. Please schedule a different appointment for each person replacing their passport.
Step 4: Complete Passport Application Form DS-11 Using our Passport Application System
Do not sign Form DS-11 until requested to do so by the Consular Officer.
