Thanks for the quick reply.

1. I understand where you are coming from, eg parents doing volunteer works would have “started” years earlier. But what I want to know is really just a gauge of when the ACTUAL P1 registration starts yearly.

2. I know of the 30mths requirement that commences at the registration all the way till end of P2. What I’m asking the experts here is whether there are any requirement at the point of registration for rental (cos not sure if I missed out or misread anything from the MOE website). E.g if we starts renting in May, can we use the address for P1 registration when the registration commences in June?

Another related question is… do they look at the length of the lease period to see if it lasts for the entire 30mths? Cos we prefer a short lease then extend the lease if we can’t purchase a unit we want since we may move within the 30mths (of cos will move within the distance category for which the child has been registered with)?

1. If you are looking for 2023 registration, Phase 1 will be starting in some schools within the next few weeks. Hence, when the \"actual\" P1 registration starts depends on which Phase you are in. Refer to MOE for the different phases: https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/registration-phases-key-dates

2. MOE requirement is \"reside at the address used for registration for at least 30 months from the start of the P1 Registration Exercise, which is 29 June 2022 for the 2022 P1 Registration Exercise\" (dates being last year dates). No one is interested whether your rent starts a month before, a week before or a day before, as long as you stay at the same address for at least 30 months. You can move inside the 30 months window as long as it's within the same distance priority (or better).

HOWEVER, if you leave it too late, your address would not be updated when the P1 registration exercise commences. In such cases, you will not be able to use the P1-Internet System (P1-IS) and would need to use the online form. You will need to submit the necessary documents and probably need to email the relevant documents to the school during the phase that you are registering for.

The answers can be found in the FAQ.

For Phase 2A, if a ballot exercise is required due to overwhelming number of registrants, am I right to say that the school would look through the list and tell those who are outside 2km that they would not get a seat?


To secure the chance of getting into the school, can I rent a room and use it as my address for P1 registration? Or must I rent the whole house?

If a phase is oversubscribed, most school admins will call up those that have no chance to ballot, but I think that is discretionary.

As for rental, I believe the rule is that the NRIC of one of the parents MUST be that of the rental flat. I'm not sure if the whole family can squeeze inside one room, but there are no rules that say otherwise.

Thank you for the response. I am just wondering if we have to show the lease agreement in order to prove that we rent a room there? Shouldn’t be, right - if the IC already reflected the address?

I rmbr the year we register DS for P1, the sch rejected the couple fr registering as the MOE system input throws out. The staff advised them to go get both parents’ addresses in syn at police post before they close for the day. I don’t know if they made it. If it’s just technical overlook, maybe able to get it sorted out at Police Stn, but if both parents are not staying together for whatever reasons, they wld need legal documentary support. Renting a room may be tricky. Not sure how it’ll help u progress yr child’s registration.

I am looking to rent a unit also. Should the lease agreement be signed at least 30 months? Can I use a 2 years lease agreement for P1 registration? Hope some one can answer my question. Thank you very much !

You can use a 2 year lease agreement for P1 Registration.
However, upon expiry of the lease, if you are not able to get an extension, the onus is on you to look for another unit at the same distance priority or better.
