Singapore Identity Card (NRIC)

The Singapore Identity Card, known as the National Registration Identity Card (NRIC),

is a mandatory identification document for Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

It serves as proof of identity and is essential for various administrative and legal purposes.
Key Features:
Format: The NRIC is a credit card-sized polycarbonate card.
Types: There are two types of NRICs: Pink Card: Issued to Singapore citizens.
Blue Card: Issued to permanent residents.
Unique Identification Number: Each card has a unique nine-digit number.
Uses:
Identification: The NRIC is widely accepted as proof of identity in various situations, such as banking, voting, and accessing government services.

Travel: It can be used as a travel document within certain regions, although a passport is generally required for international travel.
Application Process:
Eligibility: All Singapore citizens and permanent residents must apply for an NRIC.
Required Documents: Applicants need to provide proof of identity, such as a birth certificate or an existing ID card, and proof of residence.
Photograph: A recent passport-sized photograph is required.
Application Submission: Applications can be submitted in person at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) building or online through the ICA website.
Biometrics Enrollment: Applicants must enroll their biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) during the application process.
Processing Time: The processing time varies but generally takes a few weeks.
Special Considerations:
Minors: For applicants under 15, parental consent is required.

They must apply for their NRIC when they turn 15 and get it before their 16th birthday.
Lost or Stolen Cards: In case of loss or theft, it is essential to report it to the police and apply for a replacement card.
Renewal: The card must be renewed every 10 years.

The renewal process is similar to the initial application process.
Additional Information:
Electronic Features: The NRIC includes electronic authentication and signature certificates, a digital photograph, and digital fingerprints, all protected by cryptographic security methods.
Database: Information on the card is stored in a central database with strict access controls to protect privacy.
SingPass Integration: The NRIC is integrated with SingPass, Singapore’s national digital identity system,

allowing secure access to online government services.
