Marital Status of Prospective Spouse

Starting May 1, 2010, you can now search for the marital status of a prospective spouse using a free online search service provided by the The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS). The service will provide the same information of marriage records as the existing paid search service including the names and partially masked NRIC numbers of both married parties and the date of marriage.

Previously, users could only obtain information by paying $35 for a hard copy of an online search outcome made in the Register of Muslim marriages or Register of Civil marriages. Now You will have the option of a free online search (without a hard copy of the search outcome), or a paid search service which will provide both online and hardcopy information at $35.

The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) says the free online service is available to SingPass users and to organisations. The number of free searches will be limited to two per person over a 12-month period. You can access the eService by the following URL.
