Documents required when applying for Photocard Driving Licence

• 1 passport size colour photograph
• NRIC or passport
• A fee of $50.00
• A medical examination report, drivers from age 65 onwards

Passing your Traffic Police practical test

Upon passing your practical test, you will receive an application form for the photocard licence from our test centre. After paying the licence fee and submitting your recent passport size colour photograph, you will be issued with an acknowledgement slip. Your photocard licence will be sent to your address by registered mail about 2 weeks after application.

You can drive in Singapore immediately after receiving the acknowledgement slip. You are advised not to drive overseas until you have received your photocard licence. This is because foreign enforcement authorities may not recognize the acknowledgement slip.

Replacement

If your photocard licence is lost or damaged, you may apply for a replacement licence at Traffic Police Department. The replacement fee is $25.00. You will have to sign a declaration form and surrender the original licence should it be found subsequently. It is an offence to have 2 driving licences.

Obtaining an additional Class of licence

When you obtain an additional class of licence, you can apply for a photocard licence at any of the testing centers or Traffic Police Department. The replacement fee is $25.00. Alternatively, you may choose the option of having a sticker pasted on the reverse side of the photocard licence to show the additional class of licence. This sticker will be available at any of the test centers or Traffic Police Department at no cost. If the endorsement sticker is damaged, you can obtain a replacement at the testing centers or Traffic Police Department at no cost.
