About Consulate General of Malaysia, Los Angeles

The Consulate General of Malaysia in Los Angeles serves as the primary diplomatic mission representing the Malaysian government to the western United States. Established in March 1982 through an agreement between the US Department of State and the Government of Malaysia, this consulate provides essential governmental and consular services to Malaysian citizens and facilitates bilateral relations across the region. Based in Los Angeles, CA, the consulate extends its jurisdiction across a vast territory encompassing California, Alaska, Arizona, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Washington State, and Wyoming. The mission handles a comprehensive range of consular functions including passport services, visa processing, notarization, and other official documentation needs for Malaysian nationals residing in the western region. By establishing this diplomatic presence in Los Angeles, the Malaysian government eliminated the previous requirement for west coast residents to travel to missions in New York or Washington DC for consular assistance. The consulate operates as a vital bridge between Malaysia and the United States, promoting governmental cooperation, cultural exchange, and bilateral relations. With nearly four decades of service to the Los Angeles community and surrounding western states, the Consulate General of Malaysia continues to strengthen ties between the two nations while providing indispensable support to the Malaysian diaspora throughout its expansive jurisdiction.
