Complete official 2026 guide to Singpass registration for foreign pass holders (EP, S Pass, LTVP, Student Pass) in Singapore. Explains Digital IC, Myinfo e-KYC, face verification, & app setup.

Overview & Statutory Background

Singpass (Singapore Personal Access) is Singapore's official national digital identity platform managed by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech). Singpass is available to all eligible foreign pass holders holding an official Foreign Identification Number (FIN)—including Employment Pass (EP), S Pass, Dependant's Pass (DP), Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP), and Student Pass holders. Singpass provides a secure digital identity enabling foreign residents to access over 2,000 online e-Services across government agencies (IRAS tax filing, CPF tracking, ICA pass renewals, MOH HealthHub) and private sector partners (instant digital bank account opening via Myinfo, telco SIM activations, and tenancy agreements). This guide outlines FIN eligibility, mobile app setup, Singpass Face Verification, and Digital IC usage.
