All About Home Addresses

I think many forumers had mentioned that there is no fixed requirement on how long you need to be at that place before registration. They go for NRIC only. However, you are expected to stay there for the entire PS period.


If you move out later and somebody else used the same address to apply, then you will kena detected by school. If you keep your IC address after you move out, even worse, it is criminal offense.

Hello everyone,


I would greatly appreciate some advice on the followings:

1) With less than a week to phase 2B, has anyone ever tried to rent a place within 1 km of choice of school within days?

2) Is there a requirement stating the duration of stay in the rented place?

3) Any other requirements to be observed if we were to get a place within days?

Thanks very much in advance.

There is no fixed requirement whether pre-application or post-application as to how long you have to stay / will stay / have been staying at the property.

As long have you have a properly executed rental agreement, you can go to any Police Station to change the address in your NRIC.

Here is the crunch. When you change the address in your NRIC, you are saying that the new address is now your \"residential address\". ie. that you stay there. Make sure that that is true or it will amount to making a false declaration. It is important to be honest.

At the registration itself, all that will be relied on is the address in your NRIC.

it is ok to use a rental address, just make sure you really live there


there are people who literally rent and live next to school, rent out the other house (private ppty)

if the other ppty is HDB, then complicated lah…HDB agreement says that the HDB flat must be owner occupied…so obviously it is difficult to believe you are occupying two places at the same time

Hi all, i m quite familiar with this home address thingy now..

As i m moving to a relative place nx wk n i m registering my son P1 this month, i went around to get info of how to go abt it.

I rang MOE 3 time, email them n the school i want to reg also, all the reply is the same.
As long as we change our NRIC to this address, n its a permanent residential address, n we r physically staying there, we can use it to register P1.
Doesn't matter its rented or owned, n no minimum staying period required also.
But in order to change the address on NRIC, you need to produce documentation proof, refer here: http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=141

Hope it helps.

Thanks for sharing. All that you have mentioned is true.

But I hope there is no 'confusion' when each interprets the words highlighted above..

My DD is due to go P1 in 2014 , Does anyone know :


1) If we bought an apt near the school that is going to be TOP in 2014 , are we eligible to register under the near address in 2013 ? We already have the agreement .

2) Is there anyway we can register for a school if my brother used to be an old boy ?

Answer your question as below:
1) Yes. Just like this year i register for my DD1 and my future flat is TOP in 2013 so just nice.
2) The answer is NO.

There's only priority in Phase 2A if the child's father/mother is old boy/ old girl. No other relative is applicable, be they uncle, auntie, grandfather, grandmother etc.

We wish to share that the address used for the Primary One (P1) registration has to be the officially registered residential address in the father’s NRIC, regardless of whether the property is rented or owned. MOE expects parents who register a child using their NRIC address to reside at that address for the duration of the child’s primary education, as it is for the convenience (e.g. travel) and interest of the child studying in that primary school.
