How do I extend the Special Pass of my newborn if the foreign passport is not ready for collection?
Every foreign newborn in Singapore is automatically issued with a Special Pass at birth, valid for 42 days from birth. If you are unable to obtain a travel document for your child within the stipulated timeframe, please report at least 7 working days prior to the 42nd day of your child's birth for the renewal of your child's Special Pass at the following offices during office hours:
a) Submit the extension of stay form at least 7 days before the expiry of your child’s current Special Pass (if you are a Visit Pass holder or a Permanent Resident of Singapore)
b) Ministry of Manpower Services Centre, 1500 Bendemeer Road, Hall B - by appointment only (if you hold a valid work pass with dependant privileges)
Please bring along the following documents before calling at either of the above-mentioned offices:
a) Both parents' travel documents and Identification Cards (for Permanent Residents) or work passes (for existing Work Pass holders)
b) Parents' marriage certificate
c) Child's Birth Certificate
d) Advisory Note issued at birth
e) Letter of acknowledgement from your Embassy or High Commission in Singapore indicating that you have submitted an application for a travel document for your child.
