For Malaysians who are residing in France and need to renew their Malaysian passports, you need to go to Paris to get it done OR you can take a cheap flight to London where you can get your new passport on the same day. In Paris, which is an administrative office, they will assist you to submit your application to the London office.
Documents needed for renewal of Malaysian passport are as follows:
(i) Original Malaysian passport and 2 photocopies - they only require photocopies of the 1st page of your passport, so don't bother copying all the pages!
(ii) 3 passport photos
(iii) Original IC and 2 photocopies
(iv) ‘Carte de Séjour’ and 2 photocopies
(v) £50- in cash, can be bought at a private moneychanger
(vi) Application form and another information sheet to be filled out at the embassy
(vii) 6 euros for postage to London
The embassy address and phone number are as follows:
Ambassade de Malaisie
2bis, rue Benouville
75116 Paris
Tel N° : 01-45-53-11-85
Metro : Porte Dauphine (Line 2)
At Porte Dauphine exit, look for a tobacco shop, turn right at Rue Fauntanaise just by the tobacco "TABAC" shop and go straight. Its a 5 minute walk, you will pass tennis courts on your right and posh apartments on your left. Look for Rue Benouville on your left.
If you renew your passport at the Malaysian Embassy in Paris, you need to present yourself personally as they need to take your thumbprint. The "pick up" is 1 month after you submit your application. However, if you do not live in Paris, the embassy can courier the passport back to you. You need to buy a courier envelope from La Poste (21,90 euro) and fill in your address. Submit this envelope with your application at the embassy.
The Malaysian Embassy in Paris is open from 9a.m - 12.30p.m and reopens from 2.30p.m. If you are travelling from far, it would be prudent to call the embassy in advance to see if they are open on the days you plan to travel.
