Driving Into & Out of Singapore


Autopass Card

Use of Autopass Card

Your Autopass Card is non-transferable as it is encoded with your vehicle's registration number and insurance/road tax expiry date.

If you have bought a new vehicle, you cannot use the Autopass Card of your old vehicle for your new vehicle. You will need to purchase another Autopass Card for your new vehicle

Similarly, if your family owns more than one vehicle, you will need to purchase an Autopass Card for each of the vehicle.

You will need to insert your Autopass Card for the vehicle which you are driving into the card reader installed at the immigration booths to register the vehicle's entry and exit records.
