E-register portal debuts for overseas Singaporeans

By Robin Hicks | 4 August 2009

Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched a portal for its e-register services to make the electronic registration process faster and more convenient for Singaporeans abroad who may need assistance in times of emergency.

The new eRegister Portal (eregister.mfa.gov.sg), has a new user interface and additional features, allowing Singaporeans to eRegister using web-enabled mobile phones.

Frequent travellers will be able to save their profile details for easy retrieval next time they e-register, a statement from MFA has said.

The new system will also allow updates or changes to be made by the user after the initial e-registration. In addition, all e-registrants will now receive an email or text acknowledgment with the contact details of the nearest Singapore overseas missions available at their travel destinations.

MFA started its eRegister service in 2000, to allow all Singaporeans who are travelling, living or moving to a foreign country to share their travel or relocation details with the ministry.
