Do I need to surrender the deceased's NRIC to the police station or ICA for physical invalidation?

There is no longer a need to surrender the deceased’s NRIC for physical invalidation. The deceased’s NRIC will be automatically invalidated in ICA’s system once the death is registered. 

To prevent misuse, you may either destroy the invalidated NRIC, or punch a hole in it.

The use of another person’s NRIC is an offence under the National Registration Act, which carries a penalty of a fine not exceeding $10,000, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years, or both.
