If in hurry best to go down ICA to ask and they will reply you via email of the status (photo pass or fail or in process). Unless like me no hurry so just keep waiting......... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle2 Supersonic May 17, 2022 Share May 17, 2022 2 things 1. SG passports should have remained valid for 10 yrs to begin with, why cut to 5 yrs , for fu(k? 2. SG passport number should just stay is our IC number for simplicity and easy tracking, why change to random numbers, for fu(k? wake up lah ICA !

Haiz I heard that it takes upto 6 weeks but always tot it should be faster than that knowing the efficiency of the Govt machinery and digital this and that .......... haiz I saw on CNA sometime last week, pre-Covid ICA received about 2000 renewal per day. Currently is about 15,000 per day. So is about 7X, from previous 1 week and now about 6 to 7 weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tagged to the IC number in the good o'l days ( so one number for both docs) ...was hence very easy too ... (like 40 years or so back) could be now because of biometric passports OR what tech I also dont know why too; also they done away with stamping our Sg passports too (ok the new gantry system works fine and is fast) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator May 17, 2022 Share May 17, 2022 those who take selfie or use software to mod your photo, please go down ica to ask if you need it urgent. If you dun ask, they won't tell or update the status online. Those who apply before March not so strict and able to get it within a week or 2. ↡ Advertisement 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
