>Verify employee’s residential state in Malaysia and submit PMA applications only at designated State Issuance Offices (e.g., UTC Shah Alam, UTC Johor Bahru) — not Recipient-only offices.
>For employees residing abroad, submit applications exclusively through authorized Malaysian representative offices (e.g., High Commission in London, Embassy in Jakarta) and retain official acknowledgment receipts.
>Allow a minimum 4-month buffer for overseas PMA applications — processing begins upon receipt by the overseas office, not submission date.
English Summary
This official Immigration Malaysia document lists all domestic and overseas passport application offices for the Malaysian Passport (PMA). Key compliance points: (1) Domestic offices are categorized as 'Issuance Offices' (full processing + issuance) or 'Recipient Offices' (application receipt only, forwarded to state HQ); (2) Overseas applications are accepted at 9 Malaysian diplomatic missions across 7 countries (e.g., London, Jakarta, New York), but all PMA production is centralized at the Security and Passport Division in Putrajaya; (3) Processing time for overseas applications is strictly 3–4 months from receipt by the recipient office. Foreign employers with Malaysian staff or assignees must verify correct office type before submission, confirm timelines well ahead of travel/visa deadlines, and retain proof of submission. Failure to use authorized offices or misclassifying office functions may cause application rejection or significant delays.
