Wooaaaahhh...!!!! I've never come across such a stressful day. From 8am to 5pm staying in line to apply for passport at the immigration, Subang Branch. And yet, I have to come back on the next day.
A day after Chinese New Year holiday, when I thought many people are still resting at home, was the day I chose to the branch to apply for passport for my children, not knowing that another 500 people are having the same thinking. There we were, having 320 people ahead of our number, although we arrived on time when the door was newly opened.
3 hours were spent to lineup for photo snap, and another 5 hours spent to wait for our number to be called for application processing, then another hour to do the payment . All took place under the compact building with low ceiling and not airconditioned. And yet, we were required to come back on the next morning to collect the passport.
If you ever need to do so for your under 18yrs old child, make sure to have the following in place:
1. Photocopy and original copy of father's or mother's IC
2. same for child's IC and the birth certificate of the child is under 18yrs
3. Make sure you get the right form (stay in line to collect form before getting the line number).
4. Fill in the form, complete with 2 passport size photograph. There is a kiosk provided if you didn't have a chance to go to the photo shop.
5. Money. RM300 for 32 pages(5 years)
6. Lots of patients
However, if you are only renewing your passport, you may go straight to the self-service machine, Make sure to include your photocopy of IC and 2 passport size photographs.
Its not fun going through the immigration procedure. "Selawat banyak-banyak."

thank you for the info.!2T
T,after the long all day Q, I was told that Nadia's could not be processed on the same day because she had her own passport whe she was 1 year old. I disputed it then later at home I found the passport. Hahaha..! This is what you call a real mom.
Now you learn not to do your passport during school holiday.
In Malaysia High Comm Singapore, same also. During holidays.... the q is longer and limited numbers of passport they can handle.
Hey Law,
I tot I've lost you. Good to hear from you again. Happy Chines New year. I'm sure you have better experience when it comes to passport dealings.
