The National Registration Department has advised they will accept foreign currency payment for extracting a copy of a birth certificate. The foreign currency (bank draft made out to "Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara" or cash) must be equivalent to RM5.00. The amount provided must be exactly RM5.00 or more - if less the process will be delayed.

The restrictions of the Australian and Malaysian Privacy Acts prevent the Australian High Commission from assisting in these matters.
