With OPGO

Donor completes LPA online

* LPA Form 2 follows the processes described, except that it must be drafted by a lawyer

Donee accepts the LPA appointment online

Certificate Issue meets Donor in-person to witness and certify LPA with wet-ink signatures and red seals

Certificate Issuer meets Donor in-person to witness and certify LPA using digital signature

Digital Signing

Wet-ink signatures and physical seals on LPA forms. Physical LPA need to be circulated among the Donor, Donee(s), Donee(s)'s witness(es) and CI for signing.

Digital signing using Singpass/Corppass authentication for National Digital Identity (NDI).

Electronic Form Filing and Submission

Manual form filling and documents submission to OPG by post or email

Online guided process for form filling and submission of electronic documents

View and send registered LPAs
