the Safe Entry Check-in and a list of locations with Safe Entry will pop up
on the next screen. No need to scan the QR code for this.

Voter. To check, tap on your profile, click on Registers of Electors Full
Card and you can check your voting details. It will include your electoral
division, polling district and voter serial number.
3) Use it to log in without passwords at selected sites
The original purpose of Singpass App was to create a one-stop app to log into government websites. You can now do so for the following websites:
- CPF e-services

- IRAS My Tax Portal
- My HDBPage
- My Careers Future.sg
- MYICA
- NS Portal

4) Alternative to IC
Forgot to bring your IC and need it to scan for entry to buildings?
The Singpass App stores your IC details including the bar code so you can
use it instead of the physical IC. In addition, it also has basic Passport
details like Passport Number and Expiry Date
5) Check your CPF Details and Assessable Income
Some folks like to monitor how much they would have for retirement or
funds to pay the housing loan, so checking CPF balance is useful for these
cases.
6) Alternative to Driver's License
Are you still carrying your driver's license?
You can now leave the License at home if you have the Singpass App.
7) Check your Vehicle Details
The App stores the details of your vehicles too. You can check your road tax expiry date, COE expiry Date and the IU Number. The last is useful for malls that require IU number for parking rebates.
8) Remember Anniversaries, Children's Birthday and IC Numbers
The Singpass App also has details of your children and even your marriage
certificate number and date of marriage.
This is useful for those who tend to forget important dates information
such as wedding anniversaries and children's IC number. For those dating,
you can also use it to verify if someone is married or not!
