Singapore Passport Application (Adult, MyICA e-Service)

Apply for or renew a Singapore passport online through the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority's MyICA e-Service (accessed via Singpass), Singapore's sole self-service digital channel for this process. A single online flow covers a first-time application, a routine renewal, and a replacement for a passport that is lost, damaged, expiring/expired, or out of pages, distinguished only by the applicant's stated reason for applying. Scoped to applicants aged 16 and above; applicants below 16 require a parent/legal guardian's consent under a separate part of the process and are out of scope for this version. This document does not submit the application; the live ica.gov.sg source is always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).

Why are you applying?

  • applicationReason enum required

    first_time_application = you have never held a Singapore passport; current_passport_expiring_or_expired = your passport is expiring within nine months or has already expired; current_passport_pages_full = your passport is running out of pages; current_passport_lost = your passport is lost; current_passport_damaged = your passport is damaged; other = another reason (see otherReasonDetail). The four non-first-time reasons correspond to the checkbox list at IMM(E)11 Part II(d); first_time_application is one of the four eligibility bullets on the online apply page and is not itself a checkbox on IMM(E)11, which only applies to applicants replacing an existing passport.
