Should I provide both city and state of birth on my application in Malaysia as an American?

For this who applied in Malaysia, how on earth did you get employment documents certified by the company's embassy in Malaysia? I am applying as Freelancer and currently hold two large consulting contracts, but one is from the UN (there is no such thing as a relevant embassy as it's an international organisation) and the other is from Italy who won't certify. I emailed the Italian embassy and they replied they can't do it (understandably). It makes sense that they can only certify government issued documents, not private sector stuff. So they won't certify an employment contract, as required by the Malaysian embassy.Don't know what to do 🙁 thanks for any experience sharing.

I would put same as on passport as this is the only known info abroad

Does all American passports have the state and not the city?
