Change of address

The authority now requires a resident to provide documentary proof for a change of address in the NRIC records. The documents could be a bill sent to the resident in the new address. This can caused timing problem.

I wish to suggest a practical solution. The new resident can ask two neighbours to be witnesses to the residency. The neighbours particulars can be provided for the authority to make the verification.

This is simple and effective. It also encourges the new resident to knock on the doors of the neighbours.
