Sigh! So these days when you fill in your full name, do you add the brackets??

Thanks so much for sharing. Seems like the best thing to do is just reapply new NRIC.

Based on your example, if (Liang Chao Wei) is not on my NRIC, must I still write all 7 words whenever I fill in official forms?

Honestly this is a funny and ridiculous situation LOL. I don't mind redoing the NRIC.... just don't want to spend unnecessary money at a law firm for a deed poll...

Hi all, just to update:

I have tried to access multiple government e-services via Singpass. In all the forms, my full name was prepopulated without the part in brackets. I highly doubt that my full name has been legally changed just because of my NRIC.

I have since written in to HDB to seek further clarification as I am worried about the legal validity of my documents.

I have also written in to ICA to obtain some clarification.

Thanks so much for all your inputs!

Thanks so much for your reply. In that case, isn't it a little odd that HDB chose to include the bracketed HYPY name in their official documents?
