With effect from 1 Sep 2009, the nomination of beneficiaries’ framework is governed by the Insurance Act and Insurance (Nomination of Beneficiaries) Regulations 2009.
The prescribed statutory forms must be completed in full in order to be valid and duly registered by us. Any statutory form that is not properly filled up and completed in full will be rejected. You are therefore advised to read the instruction notes set out in each statutory form. We would also highlight and draw to your attention our following instruction notes for your reading before filling up the statutory form.

- Nomination must be submitted on the relevant statutory form. The statutory form must be properly filled up and completed in full.
- The statutory form must clearly state the policy number. Where the policy number is not available, you can provide the plan name and basic sum insured of the plan.
- The statutory form must be signed by the policy owner in the presence of 2 witnesses. The 2 witnesses must sign the form upon the policy owner’s signing of the form. Thus, the 2 witnesses must sign and date the form on the same date the policy owner signs the form.

- If you wish to appoint more than 2 trustees for a trust nomination, statutory Form 3 must be submitted. Form 3 must be completed in full and signed by the policy owner and, if submitted together with Form 1, witnessed and signed by the same 2 witnesses as Form 1. Attachment in any other form is not allowed.
