How do I apply for an HFE letter?

There are two steps to the HFE letter application, which must be completed within 30 calendar days of each other.

Step 1: Check Preliminary HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE)

Please login to the HDB Flat Portal using your Singpass to retrieve your personal particulars from Myinfo and declare information including household income and ownership of private property. Based on the information provided, you will receive an instant preliminary overview of your household’s eligibility to purchase a flat, receive CPF housing grants and take up an HDB housing loan.

Step 2: Apply for HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) Letter

All applicants and occupiers (where applicable) will need to login to the HDB Flat Portal using their Singpass to retrieve their personal particulars from Myinfo and fill up the application. They will be guided to upload the supporting documents, where required. The processing time is up to a month, after HDB receives the completed application and all required documents. The HFE letter will be valid for 9 months from the date of issue.
