Should I apply for a MyKid for my child?
Any parent can apply for a MyKid from the day their child is born up to the age of 12.
While it is not mandatory, having a MyKid can provide extra convenience to parents, as you won't need to carry around your child's original birth certificate for official purposes. The MyKid can be used to pass through airport security, get medical treatment, access pre-school services, and more.
Its features are similar to those of the MyKad except that it does not contain a photograph and thumbprints.
Here's how to apply for your child's MyKid at a JPN office:
STEP 1: Take a number at any JPN counter.
STEP 2: When your number is called, proceed to the counter with your child's original birth certificate and your (applicant's) MyKad, and inform the officer you would like to apply for a MyKid
STEP 3: The application is free, and the officer will inform you when you can collect the printed MyKid
