Hi. Planning to renew passport soon for urgent trip.

Is walk in now available? Any immigration office will turn away people for walk in? Googled but a bit confusing; some say can some say cannot.

Anyone who renewed recently please help

Yes. Please go early take number too. Earlyyyyy.

Some will turn away you because no more numbers to be given.

Online renew also good option tbh.


Renew and made new passport last week so sila percayakan my words.

go online portal, do the STO
https://sto.imi.gov.my/STO/booking.php

then select the passport renew.

You will get email confirmation of submission.
If successful, will request you collect on X date/time slot.

If fail, go to immigresen of the selected branch with the email stating you have appointment to submit picture / fingerprint as proof.

wait 2 hours to collect your passport on the same day.

The pegawai will gave you special numbering for that purposes. No needed to queue as early 3am for that. I went in 9am and get the special number to submit picture + fingerprint

Renewed my passport for myself and my mum recently.

Myself in Nov 23:
Thursday
Lunch time go photo shop, pay RM25 for Passport photo. They email softcopy. Go back office, apply/submit online 3.30pm

Get approved e-mail Friday 3.45pm.

Saturday go KJ Office at 10.30am, collect within 10mins.

My mum in Jan24:
Friday 11am take her to same photo shop. Submit online 2pm.
Got approval email 3.30pm.
Saturday go collect. This time tried UTC Shah Alam.

Based on my experience, KJ office collection time was about 10mins, UTC Shah Alam took 30mins.

I PMed TS the location but many hearsay from pakcik makcik in the line recently, UTC sangat penuh so they came from far to this place to queue for number.

Anyway some officers have their attitude so you have to be nice to them, then nice nice lah don't pick fights with them.

Memang like pre-MCO queue long long at Putrajaya (my previous passport) take number then only got chance.

Then have to make sure IC chip ok lah for easy thumbprint and take picture there. Otherwise you detour to JPN renew IC and take more hours off your life.



Additional info since you all discuss time. I went at 7am suda ada barisan queue.

depends on your photography skillz, if rejected, then u will have to go and retake photo at the office... im not sure what the process is, but alot ppl q-ing just for that wait hours also la..

im just happy to pay the rm25 for professional photos and only spend min time immigration office.

the website got the specifications all for the photo, must be certain measurements, background color.

my friend did try before last year, photo was rejected, then she had to go UTC and retake the photo.. i dont remember how long she had to Q for.

Plus info, they want you to pay via debit or credit card at payment counter. No longer accept cash directly.

Don't need bring hundreds of ringgit lah but have some spare notes of rm1 5 10 20s for photostat purposes or food drinks.
