Dear Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner,

My name is PAULINE TAN SOON PHIN (DOB : 12/08/1955)
I am a Malaysian born in 1955 in Malacca, then the Straits Settlement.
When I was living in the UK for a short period of time back in the late 80s, I applied and was given a British Passport by virtue of my above mentioned status. I believe it's the BOC.

I have since then resided in Malaysia and subsequently lost the British passport on account of having moved several times; also I did not see any reason to re-apply for a new one.

However, I have a very strong reason now to apply for a re-issue of the said passport if at all that is possible. I am advised that if I wanted to apply for a Super Visa to be with my teenage daughter living in Canada, having this BOC passport would ease my application considerably!

I sincerely and fervently hope this is possible and would appreciate your assistance in this.

Yours faithfully,

Pauline Tan

Dear Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner,

My name is PAULINE TAN SOON PHIN (DOB : 12/08/1955)
I am a Malaysian born in 1955 in Malacca, then the Straits
Settlement.
When I was living in the UK for a short period of time back in the
late 80s, I applied and was given a British Passport by virtue of
my above mentioned status. I believe it's the BOC.

I have since then resided in Malaysia and subsequently lost the
British passport on account of having moved several times; also I
did not see any reason to re-apply for a new one.

However, I have a very strong reason now to apply for a re-issue of
the said passport if at all that is possible. I am advised that if
