This section provides information on the Professional Registration for Nurses working in Singapore.

Nurses, midwives and Advanced Practice Nurses are required to have a valid practising certificate issued by the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB (opens in new tab)) to practice nursing or midwifery in Singapore.

The SNB is a statutory board established under the Nurses and Midwives Act (Chapter 209) to register and enrol nurses, register midwives and certify Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs). It also regulates the standards of education, professional conduct and ethics, and scope of practice of nurses and registered midwives in Singapore.

For more information on registration procedures, please visit the Singapore Nursing Board website (opens in new tab) or contact them at:
