Waiver of Passport Application Fee for Newborns

Find out how to check if your child is eligible for a passport application fee waiver and how to apply.

Last updated on 20 October 2026

The passport application fee is waived for Singaporean children’s first passport, provided the application is made before the child’s first birthday. There are two ways to check if your child is eligible for the passport application fee waiver.

Log in to MyICA (opens in new tab) using your Singpass. You will receive an electronic notification in the “Notifications” box on your personal dashboard if your child is eligible. Click on the notification, which will direct you to a webpage to apply for your child’s passport, without having to pay the application fee.

Alternatively, you can log on to ICA’s passport e-Service (opens in new tab). Click on “Apply Online”, select “Apply for Passport (On behalf of others)” and enter your child’s IC number. You will receive a pop-up informing you if your child is eligible for the passport application fee waiver. Click “Proceed” to apply for your child’s passport, without having to pay the application fee.
