Yes, but you have to get a new one with PR as you get an NRIC instead of a FIN. Same for the drivers license.malcontent wrote: ↑Tue, 15 Feb 2022 8:41 pmAren’t EP holders supposed to already have Singpass?

Re: New PR Singpass
True, I just meant in comparison to waiting a week or two 3 days is a short wait. Assuming you don’t have any deadlines to meet, 3 days shouldn’t be an issue at all.MOCHS wrote: ↑Mon, 21 Feb 2022 7:29 am^ You missed the point. Sometimes they are government administrative matters that requires a SingPass and needs to be completed within a deadline and it cannot wait 3 days for the mailer. Much faster to to do in person at a CC.
I overlooked that for my foreigner husband on LTVP ‘cos I thought he couldn’t have one. And when we were buying a HDB, he needed a SingPass to complete the formalities so we had to rush down at 7pm on a Saturday evening to the nearest CC to get it on the spot. Whew.
That’s when I learned that as long as you have been granted a long term pass (PEP, EP, S-pass, work permit, LTVP, DP, student pass), you are eligible for SingPass.

True — and it’s a DL that never expires, I wonder if they force you to surrender it if you renounce?Myasis Dragon wrote: ↑Tue, 22 Feb 2022 12:39 amYes, but you have to get a new one with PR as you get an NRIC instead of a FIN.

Re: New PR Singpass
If I’m not mistaken you need to surrender all local ID when renouncing, which should include your DL, in addition to basic documentation like IC etc.
