What is SingPass?
SingPass (Singapore Personal Access) is a digital identifying number used in Singapore. More than 60 federal entities utilize it. Singpass is an online user ID and password that enables users to access their personal account with various government and government-related organizations. Making applications for public housing, reviewing your CPF statements, and registering your automobile are examples of transactions that may be completed. It is essentially a mandatory login ID for all Singapore citizens and permanent residents. It is, however, a personal account that allows users to pay taxes or apply for a mortgage, rather than an identification paper.
