Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Malaysia passport photo?
Malaysia passport photos must be 35mm wide × 50mm high. For digital submission, the resolution should be 413×591 pixels at 300 DPI with file size between 100KB and 1MB.
Can I wear glasses in my Malaysia passport photo?
No. All eyeglasses including prescription glasses must be removed. This rule applies even if you wear glasses daily — the Malaysian Immigration Department (Jabatan Imigresen) will reject photos with glasses.
Can I wear a hijab in my Malaysia passport photo?
Yes. Malaysia permits hijab for religious reasons. However, the hijab must be dark-colored (to contrast with the white background), have a simple pattern, and must not cover your forehead or any part of your face.
How does the Malaysia passport photo size compare to US passport?
They are different sizes. Malaysia uses 35×50mm (ICAO standard), while US uses 2×2 inches (51×51mm square). The Malaysia photo is taller and narrower than the square US format.
Do I need to bring photos for in-person passport application?
For most Immigration Offices in Malaysia and select overseas offices (Singapore, New York, London, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Jakarta), photos are taken on-site using Facial Live Capture. However, children under 4 years old should bring photos meeting the specifications.
What if my passport photo is rejected online?
Common rejection reasons include: file size too large or too small (must be 100KB-1MB), wrong format (use JPEG), poor lighting, ears not visible, or hair covering forehead. Ensure neutral expression and white background without shadows.
