Singapore (SG) coverage, pricing, and sources

Open the current catalog for supported datapoints, documents, sources, identifiers, and availability.
Country details below are preserved as integration notes. If a table or example conflicts with the live pricing page, use the pricing page as the source of truth and contact support.
Singapore (SG) company data is available via POST /v2/company using countryCode: "SG". Coverage and live datapoints are evolving, see the changelog for the latest updates.

Identifier format

Singapore companies are identified by their UEN (Unique Entity Number): 9 or 10 characters, digits and uppercase letters, always ending in a check letter. There are three forms. GLEIF is the supplementary data source for this identifier. company.identifiers.lei is optional. It is returned when the Unique Entity Number (UEN) matches a registration or validation reference in GLEIF and identifies a single LEI. The LEI has 20 uppercase letters and digits, ending in two digits. Coverage varies by entity; a missing LEI does not establish that the company has none. Lapsed or retired LEIs can still be returned. Annulled LEIs are excluded, so the presence of this identifier does not establish current LEI registration status.

Active companies only

Search can return companies that are no longer active. Each result carries the register’s status, so activeOnly=true removes the inactive ones.

Data Availability

Verification-mode values are AI-extracted from the Business Profile, so verify them against the source before relying on them for compliance. See Verification vs prefill mode for how to choose a mode.

Registered appointments and authority

Filed roles use the published reference vocabulary and retain their exact title. Directors, registered executive appointments, sole proprietors and form-qualified partners are returned as legal representatives. A local-company secretary has a specific statutory capacity to execute deeds jointly with a director under Companies Act section41B; that office does not prove unrestricted or sole commercial signing authority. Unknown-context secretaries remain other key persons unless a separate source mandate is recorded. Auditors, limited partners, LLP/LP compliance managers and statutory process recipients are other key persons. Corporate holders keep their corporate identity, and separate appointments remain separate capacities. Recorded powers and restrictions are preserved; a role alone does not determine signing mode or a minimum signatory count. The reference list covers known report titles and official position families, rather than claiming a complete current register classifier.

Activity codes

ACRA publishes SSIC (Singapore Standard Industrial Classification) codes for each entity, and distinguishes a primary and a secondary activity. The primary SSIC code is returned first and flagged with isMainActivity: true, and preserves the source description. The secondary code carries no flag. The open-data input does not stamp the assignment edition, so these records retain native SSIC without a revision suffix. National prefixes are not used as ISIC codes. ACRA migrated Bizfile to SSIC 2025 on 9 May 2026, but this does not identify the edition of an older cached record.
