Who and what to report
For a citizen, PR or long-term pass holder who died overseas, the next of kin first registers the death abroad and obtains the foreign certificate. Prepare the reporter’s ID, foreign death certificate/certified copy, deceased’s Singapore identification and relevant coffin/burial/cremation permits where available. A proxy needs authorisation and the relative’s ID.
Online submission and result
Report through the official FormSG channel linked by ICA. Non-English documents need accepted official translations. Reporting is free and complete verified cases generally take three working days; extra information may be requested. An acknowledgement is emailed on completion.
