To relocate the niche from Mandai Columbarium to Choa Chu Kang Columbarium, the Original Applicant (OA) must make two applications.*

(1) 'Application for Removal of Urn(s) and Surrender Niche Lease' at Mandai Columbarium. This will initiate the process of relocation.

(2) Followed by 'Application of Niche in Government Managed Columbarium' submitted to Choa Chu Kang Columbarium.

*These 2 applications can be made concurrently. You can indicate the date you wish to remove the urn (from Mandai) and install (at Choa Chu Kang) in the respective applications after you have work out these dates with the contractor.

In cases where the OA is unavailable to carry out these transactions personally, they may provide written authorization for a family member or third party to act on their behalf. 

If the OA has passed away, the new applicant is required to present proof of the OA's death (such as a death certificate issued by ICA), followed by making a statutory declaration to proceed with the application.
