NRIC is the name of Singapore's National Registration Identity Card.
An NRIC is given to every Singaporean citizen and permanent resident. It has a code that is only used for that document. This code is needed for online registration, among other things. When setting up a company in Singapore, people with an NRIC don't need Nominee Directors.

The National Identification Number (NRIC Number) is a set of nine numbers that is unique to each individual. When you register for your National ID Card, your thumbprints and images of your irises are taken as biometric data. This ensures enhanced security and protection of your ID as a PR or citizen.

The National Registration Identity Card is the official form of identification for all citizens and permanent residents of Singapore. A person has a year to register for an NRIC after they reach 15 or become a citizen or permanent resident. Unless their current National ID card is less than ten years old, a person must re-register for their National Identification Card between the ages of 30 and 55.

A national registry is created in conjunction with issuing a National ID card. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, a Ministry of Home Affairs division, produces the National ID card. This card's security is crucial because it gives others access to your unique identity and a wealth of sensitive data about you, such as your financial situation and criminal history.

You will need this card to use many of the services offered in Singapore, including the process of opening a bank account. The physical NRIC card is not required to be carried by Singaporean authorities at all times, but remember that even for a natural citizen, the physical card over the e-Card is frequently still needed to verify their ID. In Singapore, many companies and businesses often ask to see the card. Still, most of the time, presenting any other kind of identification proof is sufficient to get admission. This can be a pass card, temporary or permanent passes, entry cards, or office passes, as long as they indicate your NRIC number.

The NRIC number of a person is currently better-protected thanks to legislation implemented by the Singapore government body in charge of safeguarding personal information. Identity fraud has been raised due to the National Registration Regulations' inadequate enforcement, which affects both Singaporeans and permanent residents.
