We still have capacity for additional passport and notarial appointments, and at this time we are broadening eligibility to include all types of passport applications.  We encourage all U.S. citizens in/near Johor to check your passport validity and consider taking advantage of these appointments to save yourself a trip to the Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
