You can request a formal letter for confirmation of Singapore citizenship status.
Any person who is a current or former NRIC/FIN holder may apply.
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.
You can submit your application through this form. You will need the following documents:
- Applicant’s Foreign Passport / Birth Certificate / Singapore Citizenship Certificate / Singapore Identity Card;
- If the Requestor is an appointed proxy, a letter of authorisation and the Requestor’s Singapore Identity Card will be required.
(For Children below 16, Requestors can either be a Parent of the child or a Proxy appointed by the Parents. Children aged 16 and above can represent themselves as Requestors).
A non-refundable fee of S$20 is applicable for each application.
Payment can be made using either:

The application takes three (3) working days, if all required documents were submitted.
