6. Supporting document if there is a change in name:   

• Baptism / religion certificates (for inserting of religious name)
• Deed poll (for change in name including ethnic name). 
• If the deed poll was executed by only one of the parents, the other parent must execute a statutory declaration to state that he/she had consented to the name change of the child.) 

For an overview of the process, please refer to the ICA website.

Students who are unable to register for their NRIC in school will be required to produce their original birth certificate and photocopies of both parent's NRIC when they register at ICA.
