Singapore Citizenship application and confirmation of Singapore Citizenship status

Information on applying for Singapore Citizenship while overseas.

Last updated 6 November 2025

Application

All Singapore Citizenship applications must be submitted online using ICA’s e-Service.  You will require a Singpass account to submit an application.  If you are applying under the sponsorship of your spouse/Singapore citizen parent, your sponsor would need to log in via his/her Singpass account.

Please visit ICA’s website for further details on eligibility, documents required, payment and processing time for Singapore Citizenship applications.

Confirmation

With effect from 11 March 2024, all confirmation of Singapore Citizenship applications are to be made via an online application form: https://go.gov.sg/confirmationofsc. The form will take about 5 mins to complete. 

You can apply for a letter of confirmation of Singapore Citizenship to prove that you are currently, previously or had never been a Singapore Citizen.  The letter will only state your current Singapore Citizenship status (i.e. you are a Singapore Citizen or not a Singapore Citizen).

Please visit ICA’s website for further information on this application.  

Processing fee

A non-refundable fee of S$20 will be collected online for each application.  Payment can be made via credit/debit card or PayNow.

Processing time

The general processing time takes about three working days, if all required documents were submitted.
