<![CDATA[Name in IC]]>Hello everyone


My friend’s DD has quite a lengthy name in her BC, e.g.

Tan Hwee Ching (Chen huizheng), Lynda

She finds it very troublesome now each time she fills up official forms for her DD. If she wants to take away the hanyu pinyin name in the middle, she has to go to the lawyer and get a deed poll done, right?

Her DD will be renewing her IC in 5 yrs’ time.

Any parent has done this before?

They didn’t do the blood test when they were born as I wasn’t notified about it .

Blood type is not needed in ics nowadays

Riding on this thread on i/c, may I know how to find out the blood group for dd?

Thank you.

The health book should have it, regardless of NRIC

If you really can't find a record, any polyclinic can do the test. Probably GPs too.

look for it in your DD's health book from birth, or birth cert ?

No, this info is not available. She has her ic made and nowadays on the ic, there is no mention of blood group, unlike our time.[/quote]The health book should have it, regardless of NRIC

Hello everyone


My friend's DD has quite a lengthy name in her BC, e.g.

Tan Hwee Ching (Chen huizheng), Lynda

I think she can use her dialect name for most purposes eg. air travel.
Internationally, names in brackets and after commas are sometimes considered to be as aliases.

Also, unless she is a Christian, having an english name after will not help much.

I also have Han Yu pinying in my IC, but I don't use it when I fill up forms. As it is my name already very long so I can understand for kids it will be very troublesome to write everything.

Btw, I seems to have lost my gal's birth cert. Where can I get a replacement?

But I would strongly adding everything in when applying for Flat, using in title deeds, creating wills and applying passports.
If you look at it, in China, she would need to include her name in Mandarin Characters also....therefore less strokes better.

My boy's one is Banana Wong Xiang Jiao.

Hubs had totally no objections to the name and just followed with whatever I wanted. He did not ask for surname to come first.

We printed out his Chinese name in a few different sizes and cut out when doing the BC at the hospital.
that is really double x double emphasis, unless there is white banana

My friend's Chinese name is 思婷

Her English name is Shiting

One colleague's name is Harry Kok, no dialect nor pinyin name
Two HK colleague's names are Monica Cheng and Nancy Or

These make me very conscious and cautious when naming DD 😐
your HK colleague is obviously non-Hokkien....

Jennifer:
Exactly the same except the title is BIRTH EXTRACT. I made a photcopy of the birth cert before surrendering it 😄 Just a keepsake for memory.

Same thing happened to me too!
I did my 3 yo son's birth-cert within a month of his birth. But at that time I could not think of his Chinese name for him. They told me birthcert name can be changed within 1 year so I thought still got time. About 9 months later, I finally decided on his Chinese character name and went back to do the birthcert. Who knows the officer gave me an \"Extract of Birth Cert.\" and do away with the original! I was so sad and pissed, they told me if I were to change the English name, it is allowable but to ADD IN a Chinese character name is equivalent to I dunno what hence kerna got to return old one and get an \"Extract\"!
:x
I just feel so sad just because of this my son now got an \"Extract\" Birth Certificate instead of the original. But we Chinese must put in the Chinese character no matter what, right? Also they said within 1 year it is OK to change! Really don't understand.
😛

By the way, also dunno whether you encounter this but when I went to add in the Chinese character name, the officer asked me to explain why didn't I add in at the beginning when I did the birth cert? I said I could not decide on it yet. Then she further insisted that my husband came with me and sign something or to do collection or whatever. The whole time I felt that they were very suspicious of something (and suspicious of my request) but I dunno what they were thinking about. 😐
