The NRIC number is a unique identifier assigned by the Government to each Singapore resident that is often used as a required document or identifier with the Government and commercial transactions. The physical NRIC not only contains the individual’s NRIC number, but also other personal data, such as the individual’s full name, photograph, thumbprint and residential address.
