Oath of Renunciation

My appointment for oath of renunciation at ICA is 3:15pm and I was worried that I might be late so I went there early. As a result I was there early, way too early. I reached at 2:00pm and my queue number was called at 3:30pm. Word of advice, reach there 5-15 minutes will do, just don't be late.

When my number was called, I submitted these documents

1. Original MY-RN1 form returned to me from Malaysia High Commission
2. Photocopy of my birth certificate with a stamp by Malaysia High Commission
3. Photocopied documents of both above
4. Blue Singapore NRIC
5. 4 passport photos

It is preferable to take photos from level 1 of ICA as it is totally non glossy because they will use this photo on your temporary paper NRIC and stamp an ICA watermark on it. If it is glossy they will reject as the ink on the stamp will not stick on the photo.

During the handover of documents, thumb print was taken using thumb print scanner and SGD 70 was paid with NETS.

Now I will have to wait for Malaysia High Commission to return me my K form and submit to ICA in order for me to collect my pink NRIC. I was told that I do not need to make any appointment to submit my K form, just go get a queue number.

Lastly I wait for my turn to swear the oath of renunciation and pledge allegiance to Singapore and sign some documents before I received my temporary paper NRIC while awaiting for my actual pink NRIC.

With the above done, I can apply for Singapore passport on the spot but I applied online as it is SGD10 cheaper.
