Replacement of Certificates

Find out how to apply for replacement certificates.

Last updated 8 December 2025

The Singapore Nursing Board has launched the electronic Registration Certificate (e-RC) and electronic Practising Certificate (e-PC), collectively known as “e-Certs” since Feb 2022.

The electronic certificates (“e-Certs”) can be viewed and downloaded via nurse login in Professional Registration System (“PRS”).  The steps to view and download the electronic certificates are as below:

(a) Login to the Professional Registration System (PRS)

(b) At the left menu, click “Administration” followed by “View Certificates”

(c) Click on the hyperlink under “Reg Period” for e-RC and on the hyperlink under “PC Period” for e-PC

Do note that e-PC can only be viewed and downloaded when it is valid.  Hence, we advise that nurses/midwives login and download a copy for their own reference.

For those nurses/ midwives registered prior to February 2022 or are issued with hardcopy Certificates of Registration/ Enrolment:

  • If you have lost your hardcopy Certificate of Registration / Enrolment, you must apply for replacement IMMEDIATELY.
