Can I register more than one passport to use BIKES if I am holding dual nationality/citizenship?
Only one passport can be registered for the use of BIKES. Hence, you should decide which passport you would like to use for the purpose.Do I have to pay for enrolment for the BIKES?
Enrolment for the BIKES is free-of-charge.Do I need to enrol to use BIKES if I am a Singapore resident or Long-Term Pass (LTVP/STP) holder?
Singapore residents (Singapore citizens and PRs) and Long-Term Pass holders i.e. LTVP, STP or Work Pass holders, need not seek enrolment as the automated clearance facility is automatically extended to them as long as they have already registered their fingerprint with ICA/MOM.
For non-Singapore passport holders, please ensure that the passport details you have provided at the time of the fingerprint registration remain unchanged. If you have renewed your passport, you will need to update the details with the relevant ICA Services Centres or MOM (for work pass holder).
