Loss of Identity Card

If you lose your IC, you need to report the loss to ICA and apply for a replacement in person within 14 days. If you are a victim of crime, e.g. theft, you will need to file a police report. If your IC was lost for any other reason, you can fill out a statutory declaration when you report the loss.

If you later find your lost IC after receiving a replacement, you must return the found IC to ICA. Please click here for more information on how to report the loss to ICA.
