Renunciation Appointment Information

   2. Your U.S. citizenship document (Certificate of Citizenship, Certificate of Naturalization, or Consular Report of Birth Abroad)
   3. Your foreign passport
   4. Your foreign birth certificate or other citizenship document (if applicable)
3. Renouncing U.S. citizenship at the U.S Embassy in Kuala Lumpur includes two interviews with a Consular Officer.
4. The first interview with a Consular Officer can be conducted by telephone, usually in the afternoon.  In the first interview, the Consular Officer will discuss with you the serious consequences of renouncing your U.S. citizenship.
5. The second interview will be conducted in person at the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur after you have completed the phone interview.  It is during this second interview that a one-time non-refundable renunciation fee of US$2,350 must be paid.
6. Bring all original documents to your appointment.  Even if you have already sent us copies of a document, you will need to bring the original with you.

After the second interview, the U.S. Embassy will retain the U.S. passport of the renunciant U.S. Naturalization Certificate and other applicable or requested documents until further notice.  When the Department of State contacts our office to confirm approval of the case, we will notify the renunciation applicant.  If the renunciation case is approved, the applicant’s U.S. passport will be cancelled and returned to the applicant.
