Indian Consular Application Centre opens in KK
KOTA KINABALU (July 5): The Indian Consular Application Centre (ICAC) officially opened its doors in Kota Kinabalu on July 5, heralding a new era of accessible and efficient consular services in Sabah.
This landmark occasion was officiated by Datuk V. Jothi JP, president of the Sabah Indian Chamber of Commerce (SICC), whose visionary leadership continues to drive impactful initiatives for the Indian community in Sabah. He was joined by deputy president, and SICC Management Committee members.
Located at Lot No. 53, Ground Floor, Asia City, the centre is operated by IVS Global Services under IVS VMS Malaysia, and offers a one-stop solution for a wide range of consular, passport, and visa services – all now available right in the heart of Kota Kinabalu.
From passport renewals to emergency documents, from visa processing, the ICAC brings India closer to home.
Key services include: New, renewal, replacement of passports; endorsements, name/address updates, and birth registration; renunciation of Indian citizenship and surrender certificates; police clearance, emergency certificates, and single status letters; attestation services (legal, educational, personal documents); comprehensive visa services.
The launch of ICAC is not just an administrative upgrade – it is a symbol of empowerment and progress for Indian nationals in Sabah, reducing dependency on distant centres and easing access to critical services.
