Is a passport scan required for CoreESIM activation in Malaysia?

Updated April 22, 2026

No, a passport scan is not required for the activation of a CoreESIM in Malaysia. While local regulations mandate strict identity verification, including passport scans and often biometric data capture, for the purchase and registration of physical SIM cards from carriers like Maxis or Celcom, CoreESIMs operate under a different regulatory framework. Our digital provisioning allows for immediate activation without the need for submitting personal identification documents or engaging in time-consuming in-store registration processes.
