What if I misplaced my LPA? Do I need to pay for a Search Request or CTC Application?
With OPGO, all the electronic registered LPAs are maintained in the system. As a Donor or Donee of the LPA, you may retrieve the Donor’s electronic registered LPA from your OPGO Overview page.
For Donors Login via Singpass and click your ‘LPA Ref. No.’
For Donees Login via Singpass and click ‘View LPA’
You may print it to keep a physical copy for your personal record.
However, if you wish to use it for official purposes, please use the ‘send’ function on OPGO to share your electronic registered LPA, as it is the most updated version.
As the Donor or Donee, there is no need to make a Search Request. If you need a Certified True Copy of your registered LPA, you may apply for a CTC.
You may refer to the [OPGO Quick Reference Guides (QRGs)] for step-by-step guidance on how to view and send your electronic registered LPA.
