Kuala Lumpur publishes its fees per service page rather than as one schedule, and every figure on it converts from the network’s US dollar base at a consistent RM 4.60 to the dollar. Knowing that makes the ringgit amounts predictable instead of arbitrary.
Passport fees
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| New application, adult or minor | RM 276.00 |
| Renewal, adult or minor | RM 276.00 |
| Replacement of a damaged passport | RM 276.00 |
| Lost e-passport | RM 690.00 |
| Lost MRP or MRRP | RM 414.00 |
| Notarized Affidavit of Loss in English | RM 115.00 |
| Expedite fee | RM 46.00 |
Kuala Lumpur charges the same RM 276.00 for a new passport and a renewal, and for an adult and a minor. Several posts split those; this one does not.
Losing an e-passport comes to RM 805.00 once the RM 115.00 affidavit is added, against RM 276.00 for a renewal, a multiple of 2.92. The older MRP or MRRP route is RM 529.00 all in.
The lost-passport page specifies cash payment for the replacement fee, so that route in particular is not a card transaction.
Requirement checklists are in the passport renewal in Malaysia guide.
The RM 4.60 conversion, and the one line that breaks it
| Service | Kuala Lumpur | US dollar base | Implied rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport, new or renewal | RM 276.00 | $60.00 | 4.60 |
| Lost e-passport | RM 690.00 | $150.00 | 4.60 |
| Lost MRP or MRRP | RM 414.00 | $90.00 | 4.60 |
| Notarial and civil registry | RM 115.00 | $25.00 | 4.60 |
| Expedite | RM 46.00 | $10.00 | 4.60 |
| Petition for correction of a clerical error | RM 240.00 | not a round base figure |
Five lines land on 4.60 exactly. The sixth does not: RM 240.00 at that rate is about 52.17 dollars, where every other fee resolves to 10, 25, 60, 90 or 150. Nothing on the Embassy’s pages explains the odd one, and this guide does not guess at it.
The base schedule itself is set out in the Philippine Consulate Honolulu guide, which publishes in dollars.
Civil registry, notarial and other fees
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Report of birth | RM 115.00 |
| Report of marriage | RM 115.00 |
| Report of death | RM 115.00 |
| Legal capacity to contract marriage | RM 115.00 |
| Notarials | RM 115.00 |
| Authentication | RM 115.00 |
| NBI clearance | RM 115.00 |
| Conversion of a driver’s licence | RM 115.00 |
| Notarial of an affidavit of invitation | RM 46.00 and RM 115.00 |
| Petition for correction of a clerical error | RM 240.00 |
RM 115.00 is the flat rate for everything the counter does that is not a passport. Correcting a clerical error at RM 240.00 is a little over twice that, the same shape Rome, Vancouver and London all use, where fixing a record costs about double registering it.
The Philippine-side record is covered in the PSA birth certificate guide, and clearance from outside the Philippines in the NBI clearance abroad guide.
What this page does not cover
The Embassy publishes no street address, telephone number or office hours on the consular pages read for this guide, so none appears above. It publishes no processing times for any service, including the driver’s licence conversion, and no visa fees. The RM 46.00 expedite fee is the only indication that a faster route exists.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is a Philippine passport in Kuala Lumpur?
- RM 276.00, and the Embassy charges the same for a new application and a renewal, and for adults and minors alike. Replacing a damaged passport is also RM 276.00 plus a RM 115.00 affidavit.
- What does a lost passport cost?
- RM 690.00 for a lost e-passport and RM 414.00 for a lost MRP or MRRP, in both cases plus a RM 115.00 notarized Affidavit of Loss in English. A lost e-passport therefore comes to RM 805.00 all in.
- Does the Embassy take cards for a lost passport?
- Its lost-passport page specifies cash payment for the lost passport fee. No other payment method is named on that page, so plan for cash.
- Why do the ringgit figures look arbitrary?
- They are not. Every one converts from the US dollar base schedule at RM 4.60 to the dollar. RM 276.00 is the 60 dollar passport, RM 690.00 the 150 dollar lost e-passport, RM 414.00 the 90 dollar lost MRP, RM 115.00 the 25 dollar notarial and RM 46.00 the 10 dollar expedite fee.
- Is there a fee that does not fit that conversion?
- One. The petition for correction of a clerical error is RM 240.00, which at RM 4.60 works out at about 52.17 dollars rather than a round base figure. Every other fee on the Embassy's pages lands on a clean dollar amount.
- What costs RM 115.00?
- Reports of birth, marriage and death, legal capacity to contract marriage, notarials, authentication, NBI clearance, conversion of a driver's licence, and the affidavit that accompanies a lost or damaged passport.
- How much is it to speed something up?
- RM 46.00, which is the expedite fee. That is 40 percent of the RM 115.00 flat rate, the same proportion Kuwait, Sydney and Canberra each charge in their own currencies.
- Can I convert my Philippine driver's licence here?
- The Embassy publishes a conversion of driver's licence service at RM 115.00. It does not publish a processing time for it on the page read for this guide.
