i-Kad — Foreign Worker Identification Card in Malaysia
Document Checklist
Pasport
Foreign passport
Required: Original, with valid VP(TE) sticker
Cost: Free (already held)
Your VP(TE) sticker must still be valid. The i-Kad's validity is tied to the VP(TE), so an expired VP(TE) is its own issue, not an i-Kad-replacement issue.
Laporan Polis
Police report (if lost outside the workplace)
Where to get: Any Malaysian police station (Balai Polis)
Required: Original report, lodged in person
Cost: Free
Imigresen's published procedure for a lost foreign-held identity document — documented for lost passports / travel documents on the Enforcement Division page — requires a police report. The same Imigresen page does not specifically name i-Kad, so the police-report step is the standard pattern for analogous lost-document cases. Confirm with your employer and the Imigresen counter for your case.
Rekod VP(TE)
VP(TE) issuance reference / employer pass record
Where to get: From your employer (HR / sponsor) — the employer holds the issuance record because the i-Kad is delivered through them
Required: Reference number or copy of the VP(TE) record
Cost: Free
The i-Kad is sent directly to the employer by the authorised vendor at issuance, so the employer is the channel of record for any reissuance.
