Document background
The Letter Of Authorization Passport Renewal is a crucial document in Singapore's passport renewal process when the passport holder cannot personally handle the renewal. It is required by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and must include comprehensive details about both the authorizer and the authorized person, including their NRIC/FIN numbers, contact information, and relationship. The document serves as legal proof of delegation and must comply with Singapore's Powers of Attorney Act and Personal Data Protection Act requirements. It's particularly useful for individuals who are overseas, ill, or otherwise unable to handle their passport renewal in person.
