PHYSICAL CARDS STILL AVAILABLE AT A FEE
With the digitalisation of the vocational licences, LTA will no longer issue physical vocational licences from Apr 1, 2023.
“Drivers who still wish to obtain a physical vocational licence may apply for one with LTA at a fee of S$21.60,” the authority said.
“Existing vocational licence holders can continue to use both their physical vocational licences and their digital vocational licences.”
Drivers can apply for physical cards via GoBusiness after their digital licences have been issued on the Singpass app. They can expect to receive their cards within 20 working days.
Ahead of Saturday’s launch, LTA advised vocational licence holders to protect their new digital credentials.
“To protect themselves against unauthorised access, vocational licence holders should not capture screenshots of their digital LTA vocational licence or share their Singpass login details with others,” the authority said.
“They should also adopt good online safety practices such as setting strong passwords for their devices or only registering their own biometric data for secure access to their devices.”
The launch of digital vocational licences comes just over a year after the introduction of digital driving licences.
