Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Malaysia MyKad ID photo?
The standard MyKad photo size is 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). The head should measure 25-30mm from chin to crown, which is approximately 70-80% of the photo height.
Can I wear glasses in my MyKad photo?
No, glasses are not allowed in MyKad photos unless you have a doctor's certification stating you cannot remove them for medical reasons. If glasses are worn with medical certification, there must be no glare or reflections obscuring the eyes.
What background color is required for MyKad photos?
A plain white background is required. The background must be free of shadows, patterns, textures, or any other marks. Using a light-colored wall is not acceptable unless it is pure white.
Can I wear a headscarf or religious head covering in my MyKad photo?
Yes, religious head coverings such as tudung or hijab are permitted as long as they do not cover the face or cast shadows on facial features. The full face from forehead to chin must be clearly visible.
How is the MyKad photo taken during application?
For applications at JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) counters, your photo is typically captured on-site using their Facial Live Capture system. However, you may bring your own photo if applying through certain channels or if there are special circumstances.
What should I wear for my MyKad photo?
Wear dark-colored clothing to provide good contrast against the white background. Avoid white or very light-colored tops as they may blend with the background. Clothing should cover shoulders and chest appropriately.
