Certification for Incorporated companies

Though it can be quite a hassle, keeping and maintaining documents help to serve as tangible proof of your development with the approval of the state government. Official certificates and documents can help you get licensed to form your company and carry out your business plans.

According to Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), there are several certificates available for purchase by incorporating companies. Read on to find out which certificates you should get for your company.

Certificate of Good Standing

The Certificate of Good Standing is a document that certifies your current status as a registered company in Singapore. It includes the company’s number, activities and description, date and receipt, and the ACRA registrar’s scanned signature. This certificate can be purchased by the public and validates live companies. 

The cost of this certificate is affordable, at $11 per copy. However, you should take note that this certificate is subject to availability to members of the public.

Certificate of Confirming Registration or Incorporation of Identity

  1. Incorporation of company
  2. Registration of Business Name
  3. Registration of Limited Liability Partnership

If you have this certificate, it means that you are allowed to hold land under Section 23 (5). This section includes most businesses establishments and land. However, do note that some entities may have to follow some specific conditions. Each certificate costs $50 and only position holders and the authorised filing agents of the entity can view and purchase this after logging in to BizFile+.

This certificate costs $50.
