Certificate of being alive
Would anyone know from which party should I try to get a statement here in Singapore of being alive? ICA? Or MHA or SPF?
It's silly paperwork but seems to be needed.
I'd need one to submit together with a proxy to give someone rights to sign some legal paperwork back in Europe. Normally I'd handle this while I travel over there but well the travel options are quite slim.
So in case anyone has managed to get similar paperwork done earlier any ideas much appreciated

Re: Certificate of being alive
I can sign a power of attorney that is good enough without a lawyers extra fees, so would prefer some simple statement issued by authority with a reasonable fee. Lawyers will probably not put any statement without some hundreds of fees, and this is definitely not a million dollar deal I need it for.

Proof of life can be done by video with a current newspaper discussing a current topic I believe.
I have some suicidal friends who I insist post "proof of life" occasionally. Pisses them off but less pissed off than I am having to talk them out of topping themselves again.

I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

You may check with your local embassy. They usually do it at a lower cost than lawyers.ProvenPracticalFlexible wrote: ↑Wed, 10 Feb 2021 7:27 pmI can sign a power of attorney that is good enough without a lawyers extra fees, so would prefer some simple statement issued by authority with a reasonable fee.

1) SAL (if I remember correctly)
2) MFA
3) Embassy
All costing you money and time of course.
But perhaps for just a simp0le statement a lawyer would be enough. Afterall, what is needed is some credible witness that can verify your identity and state the fact.

Re: Certificate of being alive
thanks all. Found out embassy can do it, just due to these covid times need to book time, and the onsite visits are only twice a week slots. But anyway seems like the easiest.
