The Government had announced the move to issue the upgraded passports in October 2012 as the use of polycarbonate for the biodata page in passports had been adopted in many countries to enhance quality and security of the documents.
In May 2013, the passport was upgraded to incorporate the polycarbonate laser engraving (PLE) feature for added security and the pages in a 48-page passport was increased to 50 pages.
Starting from 8 May 2013, Malaysian Passport applicants are to produce white background photo as per the specifications set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The immigration department produced a public guideline for photograph. Along with elimination of form from 1 March 2014, applicants were also no longer needed to bring in photographs as these would be taken at the counter for free. Applicants are no longer required to bring in personal photos as they are being taken digitally at the Passport Division counter using
Facial Live Capture Recognition Device. All photographs must now showing neutral facial expression.
Documents issued before 15 January 2015 are using fee structure from table below and fixed validity of 5 years non-renewable.

Notes Regarding Document Handling |
Cover was printed using
gold foil debossing technique where the print is pressed into the material to leave a permanent cavity.
The adjectival form used on page 1 is somehow vague as the country adjective for
Malaysia is
Malaysian, therefore in English, it should have been written as
MALAYSIAN PASSPORT.
Document's number which was repeated as either using laser perforation or printed as a barcode is of eight digits without the prefix of holder's residency status alphabet within the Federation of Malaysia.
A is for resident of peninsular (known as Malaya or the Malay States),
K is for Sarawak and
H is for Sabah. But, the barcode on page three is only numbers without residency prefix.
Upon renewal, additional observations regarding previous passport information will be printed on page 49.
Landmarks and monuments in Malaysia are printed as background on visa pages, alternately.

LANGUAGES
The document was printed in Malay and English on the front cover, interior side of front cover, page 1, page 2, page 3, page 50 and interior side of back cover.
LASER PERFORATION
Visa pages were laser perforated with the passport number only in numeric digits and without residency prefix. Laser perforation produces no ridges and creates a conical effect in which the holes that make up each of the eight digits decrease in diameter, with the largest holes on page one and the smallest holes in the back of the book.
DIPLOMATIC REQUEST PAGE
Bahawasanya atas nama Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong Malaysia, diminta semua yang berkaitan supaya membenarkan pembawa pasport ini melalui negara berkenaan dengan bebas tanpa halangan atau sekatan dan memberikan sebarang pertolongan dan perlindungan yang perlu kepadanya.
This is to request and require in the Name of His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, all whom it may concern to allow the bearer of this passport to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary. |
Passport ini sah digunakan untuk semua negara kecuali Israel
This passport is valid for all countries except Israel |
The real reason that the document is invalid for visiting Israel is because there is no diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Israel. Malaysia is one of 36 countries that do not recognize the statehood of Israel.
