Amendment to the name on the child's Birth Certificate (BC) will not be allowed after 1 year from date of birth.
Should parents wish to change the child's name, they may obtain a Deed Poll to effect the change. The Deed Poll should be produced together with the BC for official transactions (eg. school registration, application for passport etc) for the new name to be reflected. The Deed Poll should also be produced during the child's IC registration for the new name to be reflected on the NRIC.
If the child has no NRIC at the time of making the Deed Poll, it is advisable to change or endorse the new name in the child's passport at the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (ICA).
