Change Of Address
OSCARS
is a One-Stop Change of Address Reporting Service system that informs
participating government agencies and statutory boards of your change
of residential address. All you are required to do is to report
your change of address at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority
(National Registration Office) or any Neighbourhood Police Centre/Post
or Police Divisional Headquarter to inform the officer/staff of
your move. It is a free service and does not require any payment.
Once the address is changed, a sticker showing the new address would
be printed and pasted onto your existing Identity Card (IC).
If you wish to apply for a new IC reflecting your changed address,
then you may register for one at ICA Building.
Note: You should notify the private institutions and non-participating
government agencies with which you have dealings of your change
of address separately.

Note
Application through a proxy
You may report your change of address through a proxy, who must
bring his/her IC for verification, along with your IC.
Mail re-direction
OSCARS does not change your mailing address. When you shift homes,
you should inform your correspondents of the change in address.
You may wish to apply to Singapore Post for assistance in re-directing
mail from your old home to your new address.
Advance Notice
Please note that you must report your change in address within
28 days. However, several agencies under OSCARS impose a shorter
reporting time limit. For example, if you own a vehicle, the Vehicle
Registration Unit requires you to report your change of address
immediately.
