If - like me - you live in an area with few or no other Jews, kosher-for-Passover matzah can be quite difficult to find. Some supermarkets stock them if there's even a small local Jewish population, but if you have no shops specialising in kosher goods you may have to buy it through mail order.
google "kosher pesach matzah" and you should find a choice of companies that offer it for sale online - hopefully one of them will be able to mail a packet to wherever you live. This should be no problem at all if you live in the USA, EU, near large cities in South America or Australia but might prove trickier in the Middle East (except Israel, obviously) or parts of Asia, Africa and rural South America.
Otherwise, you could make your own. In some areas, Jewish men form groups called chaburas who produce the special shmurah matzah ("guarded" - meaning production is closely supervised to ensure the flour has not been in contact with water for more than 18 minutes from start to finish, which would make it chametz - ie; prohibited during Passover - and therefore unsuitable for Passover use). However, it's a labour-intensive task and you'd need rabbinical supervision to be absolutely certain that your matzah were Passover kosher. Another way would be to make egg matzah, in which egg or fruit juice (not all egg matzah contain egg) in place of water, because although both eggs and fruit juice contain water they are not considered to make the matzah chametz. This would also be labour-intensive and you'd need to make sure you used only 100% fruit juice, not juice made from concentrate to which water has been added, as this will again make it chametz if the production process takes more than 18 minutes. To be absolutely certain your matzah are kosher, you would need rabbinical supervision once again, so it might be easiest if you just try to buy mail-order matzah online!
