How to Apply (Step by Step)
Step 1 – Head to ndp.gov.sg
Visit the official NDP website or scan the QR code on the factsheet.
Step 2 – Log in with Singpass
Use the Singpass app or your Singpass ID. Your name, NRIC, and contact number auto-fill via Singpass MyInfo. No manual typing needed.
Step 3 – Apply on behalf of others
Applying for family members without their own Singpass? You will need their name, NRIC, contact number, and email address ready.
Step 4 – Submit and wait
You will get a confirmation SMS and email after submitting. Results come 15 to 17 June.
How Many Tickets Can You Get?
You can apply for 2, 4, or 6 tickets, but only for one show. That means one of three options: Preview Show 1, Preview Show 2, or NDP itself.
Think carefully about which show suits your family. Preview shows are less crowded and easier to navigate with young kids.
Ballot Tips for Parents
One chance per person.
Each NRIC gets only one ballot entry. Multiple submissions mean all entries are scrapped, and only the last one counts.
Even babies need tickets.
All children, including infants carried in arms, must have a valid ticket to enter. Do not forget to account for your youngest when deciding how many to apply for.
No resale. Really.
NDP tickets are strictly not for sale. Scalpers and counterfeit forms are out there. Only apply via ndp.gov.sg or the official FormSG link.
What to Do If You Do Not Have Singpass
- Register online at singpass.gov.sg (for anyone 15 and above)
- Ask a family member with Singpass to apply on your behalf
- Visit a ServiceSG Centre for in-person help. Bring your original NRIC. Find locations at psd.gov.sg/servicesg/
Spotting Scams
Official notifications only come from:
- SMS: gov.sg
- Email: info@plumber.gov.sg (application) or info@mail.postman.gov.sg (results)
Anything else is a scam. Flag and ignore it.
Apply Before 6 June
Getting to NDP once with your kids, even if it is a Preview Show, is one of those proper Singapore memories. The application window is only open two weeks, so do not sleep on it.

Good luck, parents.
