About Malaysia Passport Photo Requirements
Malaysian passport photos follow specifications set by JPN (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara, or National Registration Department). The 35x50mm format is slightly taller than the European 35x45mm standard, requiring specific cropping that generic passport photo tools may not support.
JPN requires a plain white background — though for MyKad (national identity card), a blue background is used instead. It is important to use the correct background colour for each document type. Glasses are not permitted in passport photos, and the expression must be neutral.
Applications for Malaysian passports can be made online through the MyOnline Passport portal or in person at UTC (Urban Transformation Centre) and JPN offices. Digital photos must meet specific upload requirements for the online system.
Common Mistakes in Malaysian Passport Photos
Using MyKad blue background for passport
Malaysian passports require a white background. The blue background is only for MyKad applications. Confusing the two is a common mistake.
Wrong photo dimensions
Malaysia uses 35x50mm, which is taller than the 35x45mm European standard. Using the wrong size will result in rejection at JPN counters.
Wearing glasses
Glasses are not allowed in Malaysian passport photos. Remove all eyewear including clear prescription glasses before taking your photo.
Headscarf not properly worn
For those wearing tudung or hijab, the face must be fully visible from forehead to chin, and both cheeks must be shown. The headscarf must not cast shadows on the face.
