You applied for CHAS just recently? It might take a while to get it on the system? I didn't check until today! I asked for the physical card which was posted to me.

Based on what my colleagues told me, if you don't see the polyclinic listed when you register online, you can try to walk in. However, they may be already full. Another consideration - since polyclinic appointment slots are very hard to get, and almost impossible on the same day, registering with a private clinic may be more convenient as you can see a GP more quickly when you are sick. Fees are a bit higher, but medication costs for those on Healthier Sg are supposed to be about the same as polyclinic costs. And you can get a referral from a private GP to a public hospital as a subsidised patient now you have a CHAS card.

Thanks slmkhoo. You have a point there also.

I m thinking of possibility of registering later too…mainly to hv flexibility go to places I m used to now. Status quo.

Do you still remember if we need to upload or do anything after receiving the CHAS card?

No need to download.

You’ve to go to yr SingPass & u’ll see HealthHub icon (green) somewhere in 2nd band & tap on it. On the 1st screen of HealthHub icon, u’ll see the CHAS card in words. I wish they can improve it with the usual CHAS icon. I guess they cld not as we wld hv diff color cards.

I love this SingPass access with all my info in one access! I can view my CPF, SkillsFuture or Che k my passport details, etc.

Yes the Singpass is very helpful. Many info to be accessed conveniently.


I got the CHAS icon just after log into Singpass. Thanks.

I remember HSBC too. Cannot remember the exact tranx that needs the IC. I was there deposit USD chqs for clearance. We were recommended another way or what so was ok then. I was puzzled too. I thought no need carry hardcopy IC anymore. I told them I kept my IC inside drawer liao.

I'm not into much shopping. My daughter wanted something on Amazon.sg (already stated as 60% discount as of last week), so we waited till today to see if there would be additional discount - still the same price. We bought it anyway.

I've reminded my family of the date today, but they are all very lazy about shopping too!
