Do I need to change my name in my Passport?

After the amendment of the name in the holder's NRIC, the onus of whether or not to have the change similarly updated in the Singapore Passport lies with the holder.

Must I inform the other Government Departments after I have changed my name in my Identity Card?

Information on an NRIC holder's change of name will not be transmitted to other governmental departments. It is advisable to notify the relevant government departments of your new name, and they may require to have sight of the original Deed Poll for verification. The onus of reporting the change to government organisations, departments, statutory boards (such as Central Provident Fund Board) and authorities (eg. Singapore Land Authority) with whom he/she has dealings with lies with the holder.

Should I inform the Banks, and other private institutions of my new name?

As your name (in English characters) in your Identity Card may have changed, it is advisable to notify the Banks and private institutions or bodies which you have dealing with of your new name. The onus of notifying such change of name lies with you. For verification, these institutions may require sight of the original Deed Poll.
