How do you register or update your address in Singapore in 2026?

For an Employment Pass, either the holder or the employer must update a residential address or mobile number within five days through the MOM route published for that pass. Passport number and expiry can be updated immediately in EP eService. Dependant, S Pass and other MOM products have their own update pages, so copy the deadline from the exact pass rather than assuming the EP five-day rule applies to every card: Get a work pass card.

Singapore citizens and permanent residents update residential address through ICA Change of Address e-Service. That push can flow to other agencies; IRAS says citizen and PR residential updates from ICA usually appear the next working day. Foreigners without NRIC update residential and mailing address inside myTax Portal under Update Contact & Notification Preferences instead of using the ICA citizen tool: Get a tax ID.

Use the unit number and postal code exactly as on the tenancy agreement. Landlords and agents in private condo and HDB sublet markets expect that same string on bank and pass forms: How to rent a home. After MOM or ICA accepts the change, wait for Singpass and Myinfo fields to refresh before you force a bank application with a guessed spelling: Set up Singpass.

Keep a Singapore-registered mobile number current for OTP and MOM contact fields: Get a mobile phone. Physical pass cards are delivered to the declared address after biometrics or document checks, so a stale address delays the card even when SGWorkPass already shows a digital pass. Bank KYC will ask for the same address evidence: Open a bank account. Put the update into the wider move checklist: Paperwork after moving.

If you are still choosing the stay product that creates the FIN, start from Apply for a residence permit. Address updates do not create immigration status on their own.
