17/09 at utc pudu. So many ppl. If u not come yet. Pls stay home. Better take leave during week day.
Finally done. to share my renewal process, I applied online and paid 2 weeks back. After 3 days system say still processing. I printed out receipt and went to UTC pudu this morning. Arrive before 8 ady got long queue. Lucky manage to get number. Wait half day until my turn take new photo on the spot and thumbprint. Then wait a bit more n finally got new passport.
Additional info:
For renewals, if under 60 n not oku, must apply online. The trick to uploading photo is that the size must be within 100 - 300kb. Take a selfi and play with the image scaling option in paint to achieve this. Also may need to refresh the page a few times before the uploaded photo loads. Many ppl get stuck this part and give up and need to pay rm30 to have staff apply for them on the spot.
After successful upload u can play with slider to center your face. After upload n paid can save the pdf receipt. Receipt will say where to go collect. Usually will be the same place where previous passport was issued.
For my case photo rejected n need redo thumbprint. I just print receipt n bring along old passport, etc to UTC pudu. They give around 100 tickets a day. Once habis need to come again tmr. Photo taken at counter is foc. I wait around 3 to 4 hrs until my turn, but once number is called the thumbprint n photo to collect new passport is quite fast.
If your uploaded photo is approved and no fingerprint issues then at most wait 1hr to collect.
Good luck everyone
