For confinement? Take pic of bb when born you may check ICA website to see what allowances they give for new born. Then hub take wifey ic, baby birth certificate and confinement centre letter to expedite (confinement centre proof that they waiting to receive you upon discharge) to ICA to make the passport. Hearsay collection can be done on day of or the next day itself. Going to be trying this out in a few more days 😅😅
I applied online. Took baby photo when shes awake and lying down. Try to get baby's head straight and then vertically take the picture. After that i edited to make it clear and have white background, it works! I think she was around 2 weeks old then. Collection was at ICA about 1-2 weeks later.
for my first born, i brought him to the picture taking place. i made sure he just wake up from a nap so we can have a good timing when he wants to open his eyes. it might take awhile but it works
