Please note:
The U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur requires appointments for all routine passport services. We do not accept walk-ins or make appointments over the phone.
Please use our online system to schedule an appointment with American Citizen Services. The online appointment system does not send an email confirmation of your appointment, so please be sure to print or save the “Appointment Details” page displayed after you make your appointment and bring it with you to your appointment to facilitate your entry into the Embassy.
Canceling or Rescheduling Appointments:
Please do not make multiple appointments for the same service. If you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment, you will need to enter the Unique Identification (UID) number and password found on the “Appointment Details” page. If you are not able to locate your UID, please email us at KLACS@state.gov and we can provide it.
Missed Appointments:
We have a full schedule of appointments every day and are unable to accommodate late arrivals. If you missed your appointment (date or time) you must schedule a new appointment.
Wait time at the Embassy:
Wait times vary depending on the service(s) you and those ahead of you require. We strive to provide services as promptly as possible and appreciate your patience. Your wait time will be much longer if you wait to complete the application forms at the Embassy. Instructions regarding forms and necessary documents are available on the Passport Services page. Arriving to the Embassy prepared will help us process your application more quickly.
