The British High Commission in Malaysia maintains and develops relations between the UK and Malaysia.

We represent the British government in its relations with the Malaysian government and present British policies to the Malaysian government and to Malaysians. We report and explain Malaysian policies to the British government and support British interests as well as coordinating the political, economic, environmental and commercial activities of the British government.

With nearly 16,000 Britons living in Malaysia and over 401,000 visiting every year, the High Commission supports British nationals if they need assistance.

Find out more on our UK and Malaysia news page. We provide services to British nationals living in and visiting Malaysia. You can access UK government services while in Malaysia.

Urgent assistance

If you’re in Malaysia and you need urgent help (for example, you’ve been attacked, arrested or someone has died), call 03 2170 2200. If you’re in the UK and worried about a British national in Malaysia, call +603 2170 2200.

Get an emergency travel document

You can apply for an emergency travel document if you’re abroad and your passport has been lost or stolen, damaged or expired, and you can’t get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.

Apply online for an emergency travel document

If the person needing the emergency travel document is under 16, a parent or guardian should apply on their behalf.

If you are travelling in more than 3 weeks, check if you can get a new or replacement passport in time to travel.

If you are not a British citizen or have not had a British passport before

If you’re not sure, check if you’re a British citizen

If you’re not a British citizen but think you may be eligible, contact us to apply for an emergency travel document.

Once you have contacted us, you will be advised to make an appointment to apply for an emergency travel document at British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur.

Other consular services

Notarial and documentary services

For legal reasons, we cannot provide notarial services, administer oaths or take affidavits in Commonwealth countries. This includes certifying documents, administering oaths or taking affidavits. For these or other notarial acts, you should contact a local notary. A list is available on the Malaysian Bar Council website. A standard letter (PDF, 111KB, 1 page) is available to confirm we do not offer these services in Malaysia.

Marriage letters

We can issue a marriage letter as required by the National Marriage Registration Department in Malaysia. For information on getting married in Malaysia, see getting married abroad.
