Newborn Singapore passport - how long does it take?

Can any mummies in Singapore advise how long it took to get your newborn a passport? I intend to go to JB (where my in laws stay) as soon as possible after giving birth. Wondering if I should buffer 1 week or 2 weeks to get the passport sorted

Have to register for bb’s birth cert first. Once done, can apply for bb’s passport the next day once past 12midnight. My hub went down to ICA to request to expedite and we got it the same day. So we got it the next day after bb was born.

I got mine within half a day. Applied online and hubs went down to ICA. We had legit reasons (doing confinement in jb) and had supporting documents to prove as well ☺️

shouldn't take more than 2 weeks of processing time based on the info at ica website

I remember it was quite fast like a week or so?
