If you are worried then I would suggest that you just give them your real passport number, that way they could find you, I suppose :P |

It's not that I really think the Singapore secret police are going to track me down if I sign up. But still, it feels like fraud to use their library system without complying with their rules. I'd be depriving someone else who has legitimate access, since the library can only circulate a limited number of copies of a given book. My morals won't stretch that far. |

@mortis: indeed. i remember one time my sister told me about her friend's encounter with the singapore police. well, she was with her. they were shopping, and her friend was kidding around, placing an item in her pocket. well, she forgot about it as they walked out, and soon the police was behind them. they didn't want to hear her explanation, just asked her if she did it or not; that was all they were interested in. after she said she did and returned the item (i don't remember if she bought it after that or not; probably did), they left them alone. scary.

Since they never ask for your real name (image shows the required fields for registration), I don't think they are all that concerned, and for them to go after you for registering a false passport number would cost more than it's worth.
I know someone that was denied re-entry into Canada for 5 years because she forgot to pay for a packet of chewing gum. |

Passports expire over time; my Canadian one expires every five years. Perhaps one could use an expired passport number and still be fully complying with the rules.

Actually, I submitted my passport number and they rejected it 'cos it wasn't the right format, & too many numbers !

My passport number is 8 digits, no letters. I signed up with my real number and name. Then I though my daughter could use a membership as well, so I signed her up but I didn't have her passport number so I gave a 10-digit number that is not her passport number, but another number she knows very well and that worked as well. So it seems to me like almost anything works.
