Erm.. i dun understand this, if i change my add to my in laws add which is within 1 km from the sch, shldnit i be considered under <1 km if i state that i am staying there and i really stay there... keeping my current place empty. I thot we just use ic to register..as long as i can change my add there shldn't be a problem right.NRO has tightened its rules regardind address changing since June 2008. You will need to produce phone/utilities bills that reflect your current address. That is to confirm that you are staying with your mum.
Your registration priority is considered to be 1-2km even if your mum is staying right next to the school.
Only 1 NRIC is required. -

Chief was actually referring to registration via the caregiver route. -

My hubby and my address on IC are the same (hougang)...
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. -
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.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.

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?
