Your Comprehensive Guide to Malaysian Passport Renewal
Applying for a passport online offers a convenient and time saving option through the Immigration Department of Malaysia, especially during school and public holidays. It’s important to note that the Immigration Department sets a daily maximum limit for passport renewals, so if you plan to renew your passport in person, it’s advisable to arrive early.
Here are the steps to follow:
1.Prepare Your Passport Size Photo:

- Avoid wearing glasses, colored lenses, or overhead accessories.
- Upload softcopy images taken by a professional photo studio.
- Polaroid images are not accepted.
