Citizenship

The Government is not yet satisfied to consider your application. The decision of the Honourable Minister is final. If you are interested in becoming a Malaysian citizen, you may submit a new application.

When the application was submitted, the applicant was informed that the citizenship status application would be processed and the decision would be notified to the applicant in writing.

However, the applicant may submit a letter stating the reasons for expediting the application process. Consideration and decision are subject to the Government of Malaysia.

You may submit an application for extension of overseas birth registration to the Honourable Minister through Headquarters by completing the same form and providing reasons for the late registration.

The application may be made at any Malaysian Representative Office abroad, or at the nearest NRD office if you have returned to Malaysia.

For births in Singapore, registration with the Representative Office in Singapore is not required.

If your child intends to reside in Malaysia in the future, it is sufficient to apply for confirmation of citizenship status with the NRD through the Representative Office in Singapore and then apply for status certification with the Immigration Department.

You are advised to visit an NRD office for an eligibility check and bring all relevant documents.

You may apply for citizenship for the child under the provisions of Article 15(2) of the Federal Constitution.

The application may be submitted at any National Registration Department Headquarters nearest to your place of residence.
