Hi, I am from Malaysia and as a malaysian, we are all required to have a national identity document. However, I've lost my card while I am in Canada. So can I answer no to the question asked in the generic application form if I have a national identity document? Should I say yes but explain in a letter saying I've lost it? I've contacted the Malaysian consulate in Ottawa about this and I was told that I can only re-apply for the card in Malaysia provided I make a police report about the lost card.
