Notes

35 x 50 mm on a shadowless white background - not the ICAO 35 x 45 mm norm this entry previously assumed. Immigration publishes the face height as 25-30 mm, which it describes as 50-60% of the frame; that is well below the 70-80% chin-to-crown band in ICAO Doc 9303, so it may be measuring chin to hairline rather than chin to crown. The published figure is used here because that is what the counter checks against. Note that most applicants filing inside Malaysia have their photo captured on-site by the department's Facial Live Capture system and need no printed photo at all.
