All About Home Addresses

dorisp:

So this is possible if both addresses are private/non HDB dwelings or your own address is private/non HDB and you move to stay with parent's HDB and use parent's address.


Trying to understand. Is this correct? :lol:

In a nutshell, yes, so long as you can get to changing the address in your NRIC.

[quote]If you don't change the address in your NRIC to that of your parents', it doesn't matter which address you use. You use your address, your child will be in 1-2 km category. You use your parents' address and register via the caregiver route, your child will still be under the 1-2 km category, even though your parents stay less than 1 km away from the school.However, if you manage to change the address in your NRIC to your parents' place, you will be able to register your child under the within 1 km category. Now, the issue is, how can you change the address in your NRIC? It can be problematic if your Hougang abode in a HDB flat, because you need to be staying in your HDB flat.[/quote]
Yes, you hit the nail on the head....in reality, child is living in grandparents house, and so am I...but under HDB rules, I need to keep my HDB address. If I go and change my address, my husband's address will be different from mine and I've some explaning to do to the school. I understand they go by the father's address?

Anyway child should be able to enrol based on the Hougang address which is further from school. Won't be using the caregiver route coz we don't meet the criteria.

Whatever you do, just ensure that you go by the law. Don't do anything illegal just to get your child into the school.

Are husband and wife allowed to have different address in our IC (one HDB, one private) when we register our kid for primary school?

i think this has already been discussed in this thread earlier. No, not allowed if both husband n wife is staying together.

If you rent an apartment within 1 km of the school, is there a minimum time you need to rent it for before the primary one registration (i.e. how many months before the July Registration Exercise) & can you rent it for only 1 year?

min rental period is between the landlord & tenant.

Hi Mummy Bear


In Feb, my tenant rented my apt within 1 km of ACS to register her DS in that school. Initially the Tenancy Agreement signed with us was for 1 year but the school required her to sign a minimum 2 years lease to enable her DS to register. She requested for a new TA for 2 years.

Hope this info helps.
