Regulation 5

This regulation applies in respect of a child born in a conveyance outside, but bound for, Singapore, whose birth is registered under section 13(2) of the Act based on incomplete birth particulars.

A responsible person for the child (called in this regulation the applicant) may, at any time, apply to the Registrar‑General for the child’s birth particulars (except the child’s name), that were not available to the Registrar‑General at the time of the birth registration, to be entered in the register of births.

The applicant must provide to the Registrar‑General any information or evidence the Registrar‑General requires that supports the application, or verifies the accuracy of the matters contained in or accompanying the application, within the time the Registrar‑General requires.

Where the child’s birth is registered under section 13(2) of the Act without a name, section 20 of the Act applies in respect of the child’s name.
