Singpass: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use Singpass to access government services through a single digital identity.
Singpass is a digital identity system that allows you to access various government services online through a single, unified login.
Who it's for
This digital identity service is available to all residents. It is designed to provide a seamless way for people living in Singapore to manage their official affairs digitally.
What you get
By using this system, you get a unified digital identity. This means instead of having to remember different usernames and passwords for every different government department, you can use one secure identity to access a wide range of digital government services. This streamlines how you interact with official platforms, making it easier to manage your personal administration from any location.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to sign up for or use this service. However, to use the digital features effectively, you will need to own a smartphone. You will also need to spend a little time going through the biometric setup process, which uses your physical characteristics to help secure your identity on your device.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that your digital identity is strictly personal. You must never share your password or your One-Time Password (OTP) with anyone else. Protecting these credentials is your responsibility to ensure your personal information remains secure.
How to apply
- Ensure you have a smartphone ready for the setup process.
- Download the official app onto your mobile device.
- Complete the required biometric setup to secure your account.
- Use your new digital credentials to log in to various government services.
