Who can request?
For a Singapore birth, the holder aged at least 21, a parent, legal guardian or their solicitor may request an extract to replace a lost/damaged certificate. Prepare recorded name, sex, birth date and birth certificate/NRIC number. Missing details require a record search, including the mother’s name and relevant dates/addresses where available. Overseas births are not held by this registry.
