verification.<\/p>\n<p>However, those opting to apply or renew the document do not have to stress about any additional fees.<\/p>\n<p>The current fee of RM200 remains unchanged as announced by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who confirmed that there would be no additional tax or service charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though the quality of the passport has improved, there is no
