When do you need to register your baby for her birth cert by at Ica?

For birth registration, you can do it at the hospital with some charges, Some hospitals may charge an administrative fee for the service provided on top of the S$18 which is charged by ICA. I did mine at NUH and it costed $40. The processing time is about 1 hour. Births should be registered within 14 days from the date of birth. Births registered after 14 days and within 42 days, are considered delayed registration.If registration is done after 42 days, a letter of explanation stating the reason for late registration must be submitted for the Registrar/Registrar General’s approval. After approval has been given, the birth will be registered and the birth certificate will be issued. Such cases can only be registered at Registry of Births and Deaths. http://sg.theasianparent.com/registering_your_childs_birth_ica/ For lists of document to prepare and hospitals that provide registration, you can refer to ICA website http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=144

According to the ICA website: Births should be registered within 14 days from the date of birth, including Sundays and public holidays. Bring along: - Notification of Live Birth issued by the hospital (For parents of children not born in hospitals can obtain the Notification of Live Birth from the doctors/midwife/ ambulance staff who delivered the baby.) - Identity Cards of both parents - Original marriage certificate of parents, with English translation (if applicable) For foreigners, also bring along: - Passports of parents - Entry Permits of parents - Disembarkation/Embarkation card of parents For more information on registration of birth: http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=144

Just to add on, you can also register conviniently at KKH before you discharge from the hospital. It's instant, so you'd get your baby's birth cert right away. What I did was to get my ex-husband to go register the birth cert while we wait for the hospital to "check out" since they usually take so long. This way, we can also register for CDA & baby bonus without making another trip to the ICA for the birth cert.
