Whether you are a struggling student or a busy working adult, we get it: your life is already very complicated.

But luckily, there are some very helpful online services so that you don’t have to open the door, get out of the house, risk experiencing a train breakdown just to talk to an indifferent person behind the desk to, say, appeal for a parking fine.

Nice.

6. Get a Certificate of Merit from the traffic police

Integrated with MyInfo? Not as of now.

Some certificates are expensive and quite useless (Participation in white-belt Taekwondo, 1996). Others are free and incredibly useful.

If you’ve been a great driver, the TP can issue you a Certificate of Merit (COM), which entitles a driver to a 5% discount on vehicle insurance premium from participating insurance companies, over and above his No-Claim Bonus (NCB).

PS: If you skimmed past that text, it just means cheaper insurance. Your car so expensive already, better save where you can, okay?

Check if you are eligible for the Certificate of Merit here.

7. Appeal for your parking fine - URA / HDB

Integrated with MyInfo? Not as of now.

When some of us get fined, we just take it. Suck it up. But that approach is not for everyone. When you kena a parking ticket but you think you have a legitimately good reason that will allow them to waive the fine, you can drop an appeal over to URA/HDB.

Some stock reasons include:

a) I parked near the supermarket because I need to buy diapers for my baby and I was carrying said baby.

b) I parked near the ramp because my mother-in-law has a bad knee. And also my wife demanded.

Appeal here.

8. Unsubscribe from Pioneer magazine -

Integrated with MyInfo? Not as of now.

If you a) don’t read Pioneer Magazine and/or b) only put tabao food on top of it, then why not save some trees by unsubscribing?

Here are some instructions.

9. Make sure spam marketing people stop calling you

Integrated with MyInfo? Not as of now.

Other than being unemployed and broke, getting calls from telemarketers are just about the worst thing in the world. No, we don’t want the credit card and stop sending us credit cards, kthxbye.

By registering with the DNC registry, you get a respite from them.

10. How to let someone act on your behalf if you become mentally incapacitated one day

Integrated with MyInfo? Yes.

Life is unpredictable. And modern society presents many opportunities for one to enter a state of being mentally incapacitated – a car accident, a stroke from overworking, ridiculous clients, etc.

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to pick someone you trust to make decisions and act on your behalf should you become vulnerable. Which is good, because when you’re not yourself, you just might befriend some despicable tour guide who intends to steal all your assets.

Find out how to appoint for an LPA here.

MyInfo FTW!

Filling up forms is one of the least productive things you can do in the 21st century. The sad part is that most government digital services still require that you fill them up.

They’re often intimidating and time-consuming. But if driverless cars are a reality, why can’t we just tell the government our info once?

Save your brain from paperwork and sign up for MyInfo.

The best part: you always know what you’re sharing, and with whom, because you have to give your consent every time any data is transferred. Your every transaction is protected, because SingPass. To double confirm that it's just you using MyInfo, there's even a log of your MyInfo transactions.

Over 200 digital services will be integrated with MyInfo by 2018, but in the meantime, you can try out how it works with some of the services mentioned in this article.
