Lost your Singapore driving licence while living in Punggol? SPF’s guidance says a valid licence that is lost, damaged or defaced should be replaced through its official replacement route. Read the instructions for your licence-holder category before applying.
The current replacement page lists a $25 fee and says successful applicants should receive the replacement within seven working days. It also says existing licence holders do not need a new photograph for replacement because the previous photograph is used.
Replacement and renewal are different transactions. A Punggol driver should not assume replacing a photocard extends an expiring licence or resolves a restriction. Check the status and applicable licence requirements separately if those are in question.

Start at SPF’s official guidance
Use the page below and select the replacement e-service linked for your category. Review the login and payment requirements shown.
Have your own account information ready and use an authorised device. Do not disclose Singpass credentials to someone offering to apply on your behalf.
Check the transaction and delivery details
Confirm that you selected replacement rather than a new-licence or renewal service. Review the requested personal and delivery information before submission.
If a detail is wrong or outdated, ask Traffic Police how to correct it rather than entering an address merely to complete the form.
Keep the application outcome
Retain the application reference, payment acknowledgement and successful outcome. Count the stated processing period in working days.
If the replacement does not arrive as expected, follow the official enquiry route with the reference. A payment attempt alone is not proof of a successful application.
Handle the old licence correctly
SPF says that if the lost licence is found, it must be surrendered to Traffic Police. Do not keep both cards in use.
For questions about driving entitlement while waiting, check current official guidance for your circumstances. This guide does not determine whether an individual is legally entitled to drive.
