Kb27 Supersonic November 23, 2017 Share November 23, 2017 http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/optional-re-registration-of-nrics-for-those-born-before-1962-9431272 SINGAPORE: From next year, Singapore citizens and permanent residents born before 1962 will have the option of re-registering their National Registration Identity Card (NRIC), the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said in a press statement on Thursday (Nov 23). Currently, Singapore citizens and permanent residents must register for their NRICs at age 15. They must then re-register when they turn 30 and 55. Through these exercises, applicants are issued with new NRICs bearing their most recent photographs, thereby improving identification as they grow older. Citizens and permanent residents born before 1962 were not covered in the mandatory re-registration of NRIC at age 55, which came into effect on January this year. That exercise affected those born on or after Jan 1, 1962. This new optional exercise will allow those born before 1962 and who have not replaced their NRICs in the last 10 years to do so. Eligible parties will receive a notification letter, the authority said. A subsidised fee of S$10 for Singapore citizens and S$50 for permanent residents will apply to those who re-register within one year from the date of the notification letter. Thereafter, the full fee of S$60 will apply. wtf is this ? want your money again. oh and it's "optional". ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yewheng Twincharged November 23, 2017 Share November 23, 2017 wtf is this ? want your money again. oh and it's "optional". Where got want money again, it's optional leh. If want just go make new one lor, don't want make new one also okay MA. Maybe authorities note that there are some elderly whose face features do not look like what is on the IC and the IC is already super old. So to ensure it is the correct person when checking of IC. So give it an option for elderly to make new IC at cost of 10bucks to at least cover for the cost of the material and etc for the IC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic November 24, 2017 Author Share November 24, 2017 And if you loose your NRIC, it's $100 for 1st replacement and $300 for 2nd. So ? I don't carry my NRIC around, unless I need it to borrow money from banks. Your driving licence is accepted in many place that needs a photo ID. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
