You can make a CPF nomination as long as you are a CPF member, above 16 years old and must not lack mental capacity. Members who are bankrupt or have disabilities (e.g. visual impairment) can also make a CPF nomination.

If you are critically ill and want to make a CPF nomination, we would advise that a medical practitioner be present with you at the time the nomination is made. Doing so would provide better assurance that your nominees will receive the CPF savings in the manner you intended.

The medical practitioner should also provide a medical certificate stating that you possess the mental capacity to make the nomination.

Notwithstanding the above, we encourage CPF members to make their nominations as early as possible and review them regularly, and not leave nomination making until they are nearing end of life.
