Reporting Loss and Replacement of Identity Card (IC)

Singaporean citizens who have lost their IC are required to report the loss and apply for a replacement in person within 14 days. A police report is required only if you are a victim of crime. Otherwise, you may execute a Statutory Declaration duly notarised by a Notary Public or when you go to ICA to report the loss.

Application for a replacement can only be made personally at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. For full details and procedures on reporting loss of IC, please visit https://www.ica.gov.sg/documents/ic/loss.  The Embassy is unable to apply for the replacement on behalf.
