Since a U.S. passport number gets changed once the passport is renewed. This seems to present an issue for US citizens in Malaysia.

I recall when I opened a bank account two years ago, they asked for the marriage certificate and the passport number on the certificate was different than the passport number I was holding even though everything else was the same, they did not accepted it and I had to get a new marriage certificate with the new passport number on it.

So my passport number is on everything: credit card, driver license ..etc

I am dreading renewing my passport now.

Not to mention renewing the visa to get a stamp on the new passport.

Just sharing!
