MyInfo: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how MyInfo uses your existing data to automatically fill out forms for government and private services.
MyInfo is a digital service that allows you to automatically pull your personal information into various applications.
Who it's for
This service is available to all Singpass users. If you have a Singpass account, you are eligible to use this service to streamline your interactions with various agencies and private entities.
What you get
When you use this service, your personal details are pre-filled into forms for both government and private sector services. This means that instead of manually typing in your name, identification number, or other sensitive personal details, the information is automatically populated into the application forms you are completing. This feature is designed to speed up the application process for many different types of services.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to use this service. However, the "cost" involves your data privacy; using this service requires you to give your explicit consent to share your personal data with the specific service provider you are interacting with at that moment.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that the accuracy of the pre-filled forms depends entirely on the data currently stored in the system. Before you use MyInfo to apply for important things, such as loans, you should carefully check that all your personal data is currently up to date in the system. If your information is outdated in the underlying database, the pre-filled forms will contain incorrect information, which could affect your application.
How to apply
- Access the service using your Singpass login credentials.
- Review the specific pieces of personal data that are being requested for sharing.
- Grant your consent to the service provider to access your information.
- Use the pre-filled data to complete your application.
