hi RRmummy,


Do u mean even address on the IC updated to new address is considered false address?

New address updated on IC but not the actual place the child is living is considered a false address.

Many years back a lawyer got into trouble for this. And the poor child may be transferred out..

Please read the 4th post in this link for the reply from MOE:

I understand the amount of stress you are going through. But it is really not worth doing anything illegal just to gain a place for your child.

Good luck in your P1 registration. :xedfingers:

I remember a case where a primary school girl was transferred out of her school just weeks before her mid-year exam. Imagine the disruption to the poor child.

Hi hot, have you moved or intending to move or using another address to be registered on your NRIC..?

Hi yap_susan


My understanding is u will get 2 slips in any phases when balloting is needed. So as to say, if 2 parents (1 Singaporean, 1 PR) need to ballot, there will 3 slips in the box, 2 slips for u, and 1 slip for the PR.

Thanks.

Hi,
What if I register for one school but didn't get in, then when I register for another school, still two balloting slips?

hi, any parents know is it too late for me to change address nearer to my prefered school? any idea what is the qualifying period of this address for P1 registration?


many thanks

no. on the day of registration, the address on your NRIC would be used.

hi,

I think I did not make myself clear. I fully aware and understand the consequenses of the changing address and not staying there. Thanks for the reminder.

I meant to say to move and stay in a house nearer to the school and thus the new address.

hi hot,


I don’t think there is a min time you must stay in it. They will look at your address at point of registration. the only thing to note is that you should be staying there as it’s an offence to have on nric an address you are not staying in.

so long as u update ur new add within 7 days of moving in @ any police post, it will be fine. all gahmen bodies will be updated of ur add automatically.


but to do so, u hv to provide proof that u are indeed staying at that add like showing ur phone bill, town council bill, etc...

the officer updating ur add will verify & paste a new add slip over ur nric. use this same nric for p1 registration.

hope this clarify ur doubts.
