How do I apply for a change in race? Is there any fee involved?

Updated by ICA 8 found this helpful

You are allowed to change your race twice: once before the age of 21, and once at or after the age of 21.

A Singapore citizen, who is 21 years old and above, may submit an application to change his/ her race. For Singapore citizens below 21 years old, one of their parents will be required to submit the application.

ICA does not charge a fee to effect a change in race. However, in cases where the Singapore citizen is an IC holder, he/ she will need to apply for a replacement of IC at ICA. The prevailing fee for replacement of IC will apply.

You may refer to the ICA website for more information on change of race.
