Can I indicate my nominee's work permit, employment pass or FIN number as their identification number in my CPF nomination?
No. These numbers are issued by Singapore authorities and are linked to immigration status. They can change or expire, and your nominees may not retain possession of their work permits, employment passes for which they will need to produce when they apply to withdraw a deceased member’s CPF savings.
 
Nominees may face delays in receiving the deceased member’s CPF savings if they cannot produce the relevant documents bearing the unique identification number indicated in the deceased member’s CPF nomination.
