Yes, in Singapore, the NRIC (National Registration Identity Card) and FIN (Foreign Identification Number) are different, but they both serve as identification numbers for individuals in the country.
NRIC is issued to citizens and permanent residents of Singapore and is used for various official purposes, including identification and accessing government services.
FIN, on the other hand, is issued to foreigners living and working in Singapore. It serves a similar purpose to the NRIC but is specifically for non-citizens, such as work pass holders, long-term visit pass holders, and dependents of employment pass holders
The National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) is a unique identification card issued to citizens and permanent residents of Singapore. It serves as an official identification document for various purposes, including accessing government services, voting, and legal transactions. The NRIC contains personal details such as name, photograph, thumbprint, and a unique identification number.
The Foreign Identification Number (FIN) is an identification number issued to non-citizens in Singapore, including foreign workers, dependents, and individuals on long-term visit passes. It functions similarly to the NRIC but is specifically for foreigners residing and working in Singapore. The FIN is used for identification, accessing certain services, and for administrative purposes related to immigration and employment.
