Thanks! Thanks to all of you who have offered your ideas. It's hard to know the procedures, and therefore the right term, unless one has worked in a Passport Office, I guess, preferably a Malaysian one!
abdrahman Nov 19, 2010:
Yes to "issuing" officer I agree. "Handing Over Officer" is the precise literal translation, but it's not English!
Jo Bennett (asker) Nov 19, 2010:
Issuing officer? OK Abdrahman, I do see what you mean. How about "issuing officer" then? I can't really put "handing over officer".
abdrahman Nov 19, 2010:
"Submitting" does not sound right You acknowledge receipt of the passport you applied for in front of this official, who then hands the document over to you.
peiling Nov 19, 2010:
Got it. Yes, that'd be my best guess as it makes the most sense. Let's see what others have to say, though.
Jo Bennett (asker) Nov 19, 2010:
Passport application form At the foot of the form, the pegwai penyerah has to sign. Is that the submitting officer?
peiling Nov 19, 2010:
Context? What's the context, Jo?

Regarding "Issuing Officer"

Pardon me but is he the one who issues the passport? I thought he is just there handing over the passport to the owner. "Issuing officer" sounds more like somebody who gives the final approval of the release of the passport. What if we go by the context and say "Handed over by officer:" or simply "officer on duty"? Cheers.

Sorry I am new to this. I wasn't trying to post a new answer but just some thoughts about the "Issuing officer" thing.
