If you are here on any other type of LTVP or Dependent's pass you will be issued a special laminated pass identifying you and the type of pass it is. You must always carry it.
If you have gained residency here via an Employment Visa, e.g., Work Permit, S, Q, P1, P2, or PEP you should carry that pass.
If you have gained either PR or Citizenship, you must carry the NRIC Pass (either blue - PR; or, pink - Citizen)

It doesn't even have to be that extreme a case. For example, carrying an official ID while running could ruin the ID. My EP is still just a piece of laminated card (I didn't make it to the point where they're issuing plastic cards already) and it's falling apart already and it just stays in my wallet!JR8 wrote:If I'm down at the pool in my Speedos, do I have to tuck one in, just in case?
I don't think you will be harshly punished for not having your ID with you. I expect nothing will happen if this is your first offence except some waste of time and possible embarrassment. If repeated you probably will be fined - a small administrative fee for wasting time of the authorities.nakatago wrote: It doesn't even have to be that extreme a case.

No authority figure has stopped me--or any of the others I see getting exercise--yet when I'm zipping around the neighborhood. I expect them to use common sense in those cases.x9200 wrote:I don't think you will be harshly punished for not having your ID with you.

Free ride home.A bunch of colleagues--a German guy, someone who looks Indian and two Chinese dudes--were invited by their Japanese counterparts for a party after work. After the party, these four decided to walk to the train station. So, almost midnight, you have these four international guys, walking and talking through--inadvertently--a posh neighborhood.
A cop saw them and requested to see some ID. The two showed theirs, the other two forget theirs in their hotel rooms. The cop simply wouldn't let this pass and he really wanted to see their ID. What could they do, right? So, what the cop did was call some backup and eventually a squad car came. They all got in and went to the hotel so they could fetch their passports to show to the cops. The cops saw their visas--they were valid, of course--were satisfied, bid them a good night and drove off.
There are places in Singapore where you will be stopped and ask to show your ID and I am not talking about painting graffiti inside a security areanakatago wrote:No authority figure has stopped me--or any of the others I see getting exercise--yet when I'm zipping around the neighborhood.
