I qualify for a Singpass but am not technologically-savvy or do not wish to apply for a Singpass. Can I continue to use the hardcopy Form 1 and apply for subsidies/KiFAS through my preschool?
ECDA plans to digitalise all KiFAS applications as part of Singapore's Smart Nation initiative to enhance public services. All preschools are required to adopt new LifeSG flow. In the steady state, hardcopy Form 1 will be retired.
As such, all SCs, PRs and FIN holders must use Singpass to complete the form. ECDA has provided a step-by-step resource kit to guide parents through the digital journey (see https://go.gov.sg/parentkit-ccic for childcare/infant care subsidy applications, or https://go.gov.sg/parentkit-kn for KiFAS applications). For parents who may need more support, you may approach ECDA Contact or your preschool.
