How to make passport in Malaysia?

Document / things needed to renew or apply passport.  

1) identity card, i/c
-they're going to scan it,just make sure that gold microchip on the i/c is working.

2) 2 pieces of  latest photos
- photos must be in standard form with blue background. there're 3 photo shops over there, you can get everything done over there if you don't have any photos in standard form.

3) money
- the price of the passport varies and it depends on your preference. if you wanted to renew/apply for 2 years, the price is RM100. it would be RM300 if you wanted to apply/renew for 5 years.

4)own pen
- they won't provide any pens. you have to fill in a form during the procedure. so, be smart.

5) thumb for finger print.
- the officer is going to ask for your thumb print.  just make sure BOTH thumbs are not injured or wrapped with plasters. 

6) other documents
- for example, birth certificate. there's a column to fill in birth cert no. in that form, i guess that's for kids

if you're going to the immigration department in kelana jaya and you're searching for directions on google map, remember to key in pejabat imigresen kelana jaya plaza glomac .

if you only key in pejabat imigresen kelana jaya, the google map will most probably lead you to the immigration department in subang jaya. i've no idea why.

the immigration department in kelana jaya is located at plaza glomac instead of glomac tower. there's a glomac tower at that area. we were confused because we thought plaza glomac and glomac tower are the same. if you're going to the right direction, you shld be seeing MBPJ stadium and kompleks kelana centre point.  

this is plaza glomac, the immigration dep is located at this area. 

the green sign board of the immigration department is very tiny and not easily be seen from far. just in case you're a bit sesat there( the design of the buildings are very complicated) and you can't see the view, just look for block E of plaza glomac and the immigration department is located right at the end.  

there's drive in parking there and the parking fees is quite reasonable.

it's RM1.50 per entry and there's additional RM1.50 for every hour. the maximum charge is RM4.00. 

there's alot of people over there. don't worry, those officers in this dep are very efficient. their high proficiency allow you to get your passport on the day itself.
