Upon approval, you will receive an email notification to download the digital birth extract at https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/ecert/request/download/birthcertx within 30 days.

For a search application, the processing time is within three weeks. Depending on the period of search, some applications may take longer to process.

If the search is successful, you will receive an email notification to make payment for the application of the birth extract at the e-Service.

You may contact [email protected] if you have any query relating to the application and/or download of extract.
