As a self-employed person, how do I apply for a Cable Detection Worker Licence?

Before applying for a Cable Detection Worker Licence, ensure you have made the necessary MediSave contributions or have an active GIRO arrangement with the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board to fulfil them.

Under CPF Board’s Self-Employed Scheme (SES), all self-employed persons who are Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents and earn an annual net trade income exceeding $6,000 must contribute to MediSave.

EMA will issue your licence only if your MediSave contributions are up-to-date. This means you have either paid your MediSave in full or have an active GIRO arrangement with CPF Board to settle your MediSave contributions.

Visit cpf.gov.sg/selfemployedmatters to check your MediSave payment status.

If you are 65 years or older, you must also obtain medical certification from a Registered Medical Practitioner to confirm your fitness to carry out the authorised works under the licence.
