NRIC and FIN
NRIC (National Registration Identity Card) and FIN (Foreign Identification Number) are identification numbers used in Singapore.
- NRIC (National Registration Identity Card):
- The NRIC is a unique identification number assigned to each Singaporean citizen and permanent resident.
- It is issued in the form of a physical identity card, commonly referred to as the NRIC card.
- The NRIC number is a combination of letters and numbers, with the first letter representing the individual’s year of birth.
- FIN (Foreign Identification Number):
- The FIN is issued to foreigners who work or reside in Singapore on a long-term basis, such as Employment Pass holders, S Pass holders, and Dependant Pass holders.
- Like the NRIC, the FIN is a unique identification number assigned to each individual.
- The format of the FIN may vary depending on the type of pass or permit held.
Both the NRIC and FIN are crucial for identification purposes in Singapore, and individuals are required to provide these numbers in various official and administrative transactions. It’s important to note that the specific details and formats of these identification numbers are subject to change, so it’s advisable to refer to official sources for the most up-to-date information.
