UTC PUDU ... Baby passport in 30 mins..

First time thinking about bringing my baby to make passport.. immigration office i was imagining long queue, worried if she can stay still for the picture ornot. The last time i remembered had to go to the canteen there to take passport foto from photo booth etc..

Tried looking for info online for baby friendly inmigration office, some1 recommebd sri hartamas branch but unfortunately not open on a saturday.

I just randomly tried my luck at utc pudu branch. On a saturday. Din even go like super early to queue. Went at 11am. There is a limit to adult number, but they have special number system for babies under 2 yo..

Yeai...

So 2033.. number now is 2032..
So after like 2 mins.. was called to the counter.
Showed the original documents ( baby birthcert, my ic and baby mykid.) And 1 photocopy of all. If you forgot to photocopy, there is a shop nearby that can photocopy.
Mayb about 5 mins at the counter, including taking photo for zoe, the officer was friendly enough to patiently wait for me to get her ready for foto. Used my fone to lure her to look at the screen, he was quick to take the foto. Noneed to repeat..hahaa...

Another 5 mins called to counter 9 to pay.. rm100 for under 13 yrs old...
From there he asked to wait awhile more at counter 12.
I see from the paper he gave me that passport will be ready in 1 hr..
Sat for awhile, gave zoe some milk, was about to leave to find food outside, when they suddenly called our number in less than 10 mins.
To my surprise, passport is ready!.
All in less than 30mins..

For adult the officer told me i can apply online and collect tmr. I think ill try that.
