Hi All!


My husband and I have different addresses on our IC. Is it necessary to have same address on the ic when registering for primary one? Does any one have such an experience? Please share.

If you two are staying together, then one of you could be thrown into jail because of the discrepancy. Seriously. The NRIC is supposed to reflect our current place of residence.

Otherwise, just explain to the school if they ask. Make sure you give the real reason. They should accept it if it is reasonable.

hee hee Chief.....we are legally married. :lol: But sticker on his IC was torn off due to wear and tear. So neglience on our part. Tried to explain this to the school, but insist to have the current address. This is despite the fact that our girl's BC has our current address! Implication is school will use daddy's address which is more than 2 km. :?


But MOE website never state both parents address must be the same..... So just trying to find out more or is it the school being particular.

Why not quickly go to Immigration to make a new NRIC? They should have your actual address in the records, so it's a matter of getting them to issue you a new NRIC without changing any info. I think it costs about $60 (not sure). Takes less than a couple of hours. Better than losing out on the distance lah... especially if the school you are going for is hot.

I thought go to neighbourhood police post will do? Treat it as an update of address, maybe?

Hi, Neighbourhood police can help you update the address. They just paste the sticker over it and it sb pretty fast if their system is not down.


Probably just explain to them the situation. On the other hand, do bring down documents to prove that your hubby stays in that address. Eg. the PUB bills, credit bills,etc… that shows his name and the address. Make sure it’s recent as this is a new ruling by them before they change your address for you.

Hello everyone!


Thank you for your advice. After a sleepless night, I'm happy to report that the IC 'discrepancy' has been rectified. As of this morning, chances are still fairly good. Hope it continues this way. Lesson learnt - Don't overlook the slightest detail.

Hi,
Anyone knows how long I need to stay in a rented property before and after registration and balloting?
I'm thinking of renting an apartment just before I register and ballot in Phrase 2C.
Afterwhich once my girl gets into the school, we can move back to own home again.

This works to be alot cheaper than buying a property near the school.

Anyone can advise?

Is anyone aware of how many days prior to P1 registration we sould live in a particular address whih is with 1 or 2km range.

I read at couple of sites regarding the buying of property but if we want to rent a place, how many days prior to registration should we be living the house.

If anyone knows the details, please let me know.
