No need to bring photographs. <br /><br />2) your passport photo is taken right in front of the counter, and is included (in my case it is the RM200 for pasport renewal for 5 years)<br /><br />3) Anyone wearing coloured contact lenses have to remove them for the photograph. I wore &#39;bigger eyes&#39; contact lenses, even though dark brown, I still had to remove. they gave me contact lense solution and a plastic contact lense case to take it out for the photo. <br /><br />4) You have to wear medium to dark coloured shirt, collared or not collared is ok. If you happen to wear light coloured shirt or tudung, they will provide black blazer/dark scarf for you to wear to be photographed. I wore a black and white pinstriped shirt, they made me wear blazer because of the white stripes. (yuck&#33;)<br /><br />Why? new passport picture is black and white, with white background. Light coloured clothing will look like u are floating. <br /><br />I went to Shah Alam PKNS branch, went in at 12.15 pm, had to wait for 33 numbers before me, I went to eat lunch, had my turn at 12.50 or so to be photographed, paid at 1.15pm, got my passport at 1.45pm. <br /><br />They are so friendly there&#33; The officer told me we can always call their number to ask any kind of question, because they know their website is not so informative. <br /><br />Good luck&#33; unittrust88 Serious Kopitiam Wed, 26 Aug 2015 14:49:03 +0800
