My brother is getting married in January and the bride side will hosting their dinner in Indonesia. Its no way for us to remain behind with the baby hence we will be taking Aiden along for this overseas trip. It’ll be a short trip (3 days 2 nights) and Aiden will be 2 months plus by then π We did some research about travelling with baby to make sure things go well coz after all we’re first time parents. But the most important thing is definitely applying Malaysian Passport for Aiden first!
Me guess many parents would wanna know the steps to apply a Malaysian Passport for baby thus I decided to write a short post on this, hoping the information below would help parents or anyone who wish to know how to apply passport for a baby π
Things you need to apply Malaysian Passport for Your Baby:-
1) Baby’s Original Birth Certificate
2) Mother/ Father’s Original IC
3) Ballpoint pen to fill the form which will be given by the officer
4) Rm150
Simple Steps to Apply Malaysian Passport for your Baby:-
1) Head over to any of the immigration offices in Malaysia.
2) Present your documents to the officer at the queue counter and you’ll be given a ‘special number’ as priority is given to infants/ disabled and senior citizens.
3) Wait for your number to be called.
4) Present all your documents (Birth Cert, Mother/ Father’s IC and Form) to the Officer. The Officer will then take photo of your baby.
5) Wait for your number to be called again to make payment of RM150 at the payment counter.
6) Your baby’s Passport will be ready in 1 hour.
7) Present Mother/ Father’s IC and Baby’s Birth Cert to collect baby’s passport.

Hi, You mentioned that the officer will take a photo of the baby. Meaning we do not need to provide any photographs to the officer?
November 19, 2015
Sorry for the late reply as just notice this comment, yup don’t need to provide any photographs as the photo will be taken on the spot π

The parent will just hold the baby and they will photoshop the background to white? Baby has to be in dark color fitout? Thx

Yea, just carry the baby and they will provide you a black cloth to cover yourself from being seen. As for the outfit, baby can wear any colours

can we prepare the photo in advance? in case baby crying or cranky on that day after the long que.
May 25, 2016
I don’t think you can do that However, don’t worry as there should be a priority queue for you.

new procedure, baby under 2 years old is required to bring his / her ready passport-sized photo. and the fee for this passport application is only RM100. No need to fill up any form as the officer will key-in directly to the system. just provide the related original documents.

Do both parents have to be present please if one parent is a non-Malaysian? Thanks in advance for your helpful reply.

Hi, I’m not too sure if one parent is a non-Malaysian. I think it would be better if both presents to avoid any inconvenience.

Hi, I’m not too sure on this but I don’t think there’s any issue with the passport id if it’s issued by the immigration?
