I just renewed mine last Thursday.

Let me teach you the hax:

Apply online, upload ANY selfie taken with your phone, make payment of rm200 (this is important), then wait (they dont send any confirmation email, so dont worry if you dont receive anything).

By next working day, you will receive an email basically telling you to go to counter because your cap jari got issue and also your photo got issue.

Ignore the photo re-uploading request in the email. Go directly to immigration centre and bring along these 3 documents:

1) Printed RECEIPT of your payment (must be printed or kena charge RM3 to print at centre)
2) Old passport
3) IC

When at immigration centre they will help you to take the needed photo at their counter FREE OF CHARGE. Once all done, wait for the counter to call name for new passport collection.
Notes:
1) Don't bother to take photo at outside.
2) Bring PRINTED payment receipt, no softcopy.
3) Go to Kelana Jaya Immigration Centre if possible. Love their service, never had any issue with them for the past 3 rounds of passport renewal.

Wrt the part about going directly;
1. Does it apply to all branches including UTC? I’m not based in Selangor.
2. Just go directly without getting number from that stupid QMS app or whatever it’s called?

TS has gone missing?

Seriously this is the best method and free.

I believe boy96 also did the same and can testify

Myself needed 3 attempts. First 2 photos the immigration upload rejected and error message said got more than 1 person in the shot (wtf, I confirm no shadows also) and some other nonsense. Third time baru pass. A bit leceh because that passport photo website only allows one free image per account before they ask you to buy credits, so I had to create a new account 3 times using different disposable email aliases, but lucky in the end photo accepted and I got the LULUS email next morning. Take note that you need tap the dropdown arrow, select jpeg and push the slider to 100% or the image file size will be too small. Now I need to wait and see if they will make me reshoot or not when I go to collect.
