Suspension of Bundled Service for Passport and IC Applications
The bundled service where citizens apply for and collect the IC and passport within a single transaction has been temporarily suspended. However, citizens can still submit separate applications for IC and passport. Thank you for your understanding on the matter.


Re-Register Identity Card for 30/55-year-olds

Back to top

The Identity Card (IC) is a compulsory document that Singapore citizens and permanent residents must re-register for when they reach the age of 30 (before their 31st birthday), and again when they reach the age of 55 (before their 56th birthday), if they have not been issued with a replacement IC within the last 10 years.

You will need to provide original documents and official translations (for documents in languages other than English), as well as copies of the documents for ICA to retain.

ICA accepts:

  • Translations provided by the embassy of the country that issued the document
  • Translations produced by a notary public in Singapore or the country that issued the document
  • Privately created translations attested by the embassy of the country that issued the document, or notarised by a notary public in Singapore or the country that issued the document.

    • ICA does not endorse any private translation companies or entities. Insufficient documentation may result in non-acceptance of your application. You may be required to provide additional documents to support your application.


    For Singapore citizens, you will need to provide the following documents in digital images:

    • Baptism or religious certificate to include a religious name
    • Deed poll for a change of name
    • Marriage certificate (if you want to include your married name)
    • Your recent passport-sized, digital, coloured photograph taken within the last three months. (Refer to Photo Guidelines for information on photo requirements.)

    For Singapore permanent residents, you will need to provide the following documents in digital images:

    • The page(s) of your current passport which contains your personal particulars (bearing new name if applicable^)
    • Marriage certificate (if you want to include your married name)
    • Your recent passport-sized, digital, colour photograph taken within the last three months. (Refer to Photo Guidelines for information on photo requirements.)

    ^Singapore permanent residents with a change of name must first update the name on their current passport and provide a copy of the passport bearing their new name as supporting document to change the name on the Singapore IC.
