Generating a barcode of your NRIC or FIN is especially useful in Singapore, where many hospitals, polyclinics, libraries, and government self-service kiosks use barcode scanners to speed up registration and identity verification. If you forget your physical ID card but still need access to essential services, having a digital barcode version of your NRIC/FIN on your phone can serve as a convenient alternative—provided the organisation accepts digital tokens.
For businesses and technology testers, being able to easily generate NRIC/FIN barcodes is essential for implementation and user acceptance testing (UAT). This is particularly helpful when developing or verifying barcode reader systems at physical locations: you can create mock NRIC or FIN numbers with corresponding barcodes for thorough, realistic testing, without needing to use real or sensitive data. This ensures both privacy and flexibility in a wide range of Singaporean public and private service scenarios.
