Got it. Thanks both!
That's right. You need to use your new property address. Some might still do it, but you run the risk of becoming made an \"example\" by MOE if you get caught. MOE does do random checks and people who get \"balloted\" out may not be very forgiving...Davischew\" post_id=\"2047051\" time=\"1637369244\" user_id=\"132882:
Not possible. You can move only same or better distance. If you know your property coming up in end P1, you should use your new property address to register.

Hi wise parents,
My friend stays with her parents and intends to use her parents’ address when it comes to P1 registration. Is that valid even if she does not own the house? Will they ask for proof of ownership title deed etc, as she is unsure what documents to prepare. Thanks for advice! -

Her NRIC needs to reflect the address.

If still not reflecting the address, check out ICA requirements on how to apply:

She will have to register her parents as the child's guardians, and the closest you can get during bidding is the 1-2km distance even if your parents live right next door to the school. It's stupid, I know... but I guess MOE is trying to weed out people who try to game the system.

You can rent the place. As long as her address is on her NRIC, MOE doesn't really care. -
Hi, can anyone help to advise with the questions regarding home addresses as in the event we need to shift within the 30 months of registration. Thanks!
1. If my current address used for registration is less than 1km from the primary school and my child successfully got into the primary school at phase 2a, as the balloting only took place at >2km, can we then change the address to our parents’ address (within 1-2km) who are caretakers for my child within the 30 months/ after balloting?
2. If my address used for registration is less than 1km from the primary school and my child successfully got into the primary school at phase 2a and no balloting took place at this phase, can we then change the address to another which is more than 2km within the 30 months? -

1. If balloting has occurred >2km, I think it is ok to switch to a 1.5km category from your 1km category. I'm not sure, but I think your case will be in the grey area which you should be able to argue if anyone finds out. I doubt the school itself will do anything in your case.

2. Yes. If no balloting occurs for the phase your child gets in, then it is perfectly fine to change address. Your child did not gain \"priority admission through home-school distance\", so it's perfectly fine to move. -
Hi I have called MOE recently to ask the exact questions, the response I received is as follows:
1) No, you have to move within the same distance category (i.e. if you were within 1 km you have to move within 1 km). Once balloting is conducted at any category and your child “gains admission to the school using distance priority”, the requirement is to maintain residence within the same category at time of registration. I actually tried to pose arguments that priority was gained for anyone within 2 km without a need to ballot then had the child registered with new address 1-2 km the outcome would have been the same but essentially the officer I spoke to maintained that the rule was “within same distance category” and should be adhered to. She does not disagree with my reasoning but basically their current rules are worded this way and would be interpreted strictly this way.
2) You are free to move anywhere. If no balloting is required at all for any distance, that means your child did not “gain priority to admission using distance catogory” and therefore not subject to any rules or restrictions.Eleigh\" post_id=\"2053709\" time=\"1640616523\" user_id=\"189570:

Sounds like a typical response by a civil servant

Like I said earlier, this is a grey area. MOE's position is simply - don't you dare to move if you got in by virtue of distance :).

Haha yes, though if I were in their shoes I would have responded the same too to cover my backside… until the day MOE changes it’s official FAQ and wordings.

Hi,
Anyone knows if both parents need to stay in the registered address if address was used for P1 registration under phase 2C.
If say we bought a new property that is not within 2km distance. Then one parent change address to the new property that is closer to another child secondary school (while the other parent still stay in the current house with the child that is in the primary school). Will it affect anything?
Basically we have 2 properties. But does both parents need stay in the one that the P1 kid is registered?
