Good to know passport renewal requires new IC now.

if the IC has two pictures (one big one small) on it, that means it's the new format.

Which means my wife's IC is the old format. Mine is new format. She did not have any issue renewing her passport late last year.

that means the officer overlooked.

Renew passport need to bring passport pic or not? Or they just use ic pic?

Need to do appointment or can walk in?

Can get same day right?

Nowadays many pipu or not at utc?

Good info thanks, i didnt even know i had a "new" IC.

I'm lucky the passport officer was nice at UTC Pudu, he let me renew me passport even though my IC is super old.

Either overlooked or it's not even an official requirement to have new IC. It's not written anywhere as a condition to renew passport.

Yes. I think so, not a requirement cos there is no law saying we must change IC. Old IC is still valid.

If you visit UTC, immigration department and JPN are neighbors so the immigration officer are helping JPN so that more people will change to the new type of IC.

I got new passport and new IC on the same day.
