Urgent Birth Certificate Question

[wangaturtle 4]

Hello does anyone have any knowledge of how to obtain a copy of a Malaysian birth certificate? I was born in Malaysia but I have been living abroad in the Philippines my whole life and I need to get my original Malaysian birth certificate for my interview however it is lost. Please if anyone has any advice be kind and help me! I am desperately looking up how to do it and I can't find any answers. My mother lied to me about my birth certificate here in the Philippines being my original but I found out today during my interview that this was not the case and now I need to get my original birth certificate. I am so distressed and upset that I got denied and have to reschedule so please don't make things harder on me with lectures of how I should have known. My life with my mother has been sheltered and I'm learning everyday that the things she told me growing up are not true Thank you.

The info you need is in the country specific guidelines - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Malaysia.html

 

Good luck, I hope you can get it sorted quickly.

Thank you we are looking into it. We're just concerned about how long it will take to get an extraction of birth certificate. We also noticed one of the requirements is an ID document but I have no Malaysian ID. I do have an old Malaysian passport but it is expired.

Typically one can renew their foreign passport at the embassy / consulate inside the US. But whether it's needed to get birth certificate or not, I wouldn't know.
