Thank you abang ronnie so efficient =p

yes, supp card's bill is paid by main card holder.

what's your question in the first place? you want to apply under someone's name, which means you want to apply as a supp card holder under a main card holder, that's your question, no?

if yes, of course the main card holder need to present.

I think he want to use someone else's name (let's say his brother) as supp card under him.

No i mean, lets say i plan to apply supp card using sibling's name, while me myself is the main card holder... So my siblings need to be present? Or me as main card holder can gao dim all?

You only need their MyKad photocopy

Thats all? no need to sign or ori copy of ic?

I applied 2 supp card for my gf and my mom, just bring back the supp card form and let them sign and get their IC copy. No others doc requried or need them to present when pass back the form.

Card should be approved after 2 weeks i've submit the application as i saw extra 2 card number in my HLB online few days ago. But still no calling or still not receive the card yet until today.
