Use of Full NRIC Number in Government e-Services and Plans to Evaluate Security of These E-services

Ms Hazel Poa asked the Minister for Digital Development and Information (a) what are the e-services or transactions with the Government that rely on the user providing their NRIC number and NRIC date of issue; and (b) whether there are any plans to re-evaluate the security of these e-services in light of the recently reported case of unauthorised change of addresses for NRICs.

This question has been addressed in the oral reply to Parliamentary Question Nos 13 to 17 at the 4 February Sitting. [Please refer to "Assistance for Victims of Incident Involving Address Changes Via ICA System, Punishment for Perpetrators and Remedial Actions to Correct System or Process", Official Report, 4 February 2025, Vol 95, Issue 150, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
