What is the difference between JPN and KDN? Which one is relevant to me?

  • Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) – The National Registration Department:
    • Handles the submission of citizenship applications.
    • Provides confirmation on required documentation for your application.
    • Issues the final citizenship certificate once your application is approved.
  • Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) – The Ministry of Home Affairs
    • Evaluates and makes decisions on citizenship applications.
    • Provides updates on the status of your pending application.
    • The place where you collect the results of your citizenship decision.

Note: After the citizenship application is made at JPN, it will take a couple of months to reach KDN.
