How do I search the company register in Singapore?
Start with ACRA (https://www.acra.gov.sg) for Singapore company records. Use the supported legal-name or identifier search and inspect available fields, such as UEN (Unique Entity Number), Company name, Legal form. Official searches, documents and APIs have separate access rules; LemReveal's free lookup does not remove those conditions.
Step-by-step
- 1
Know which register holds the record
In Singapore, company records sit on ACRA. Trade directories and aggregator sites are copies — the register is the source of truth.

Search by name or registration number
Use the exact identifier with its issuing register or jurisdiction. Name searches can return several candidates; a number is not a guarantee that the source is available or covers the record.
- 3
Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows UEN (Unique Entity Number), Company name, Legal form. That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.
- 4
Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Singapore company register free to search?
Check ACRA's current terms for basic searches, profiles, documents and APIs. Not all are necessarily free or available without an account.
Which register is the official one in Singapore?
Start with ACRA, at https://www.acra.gov.sg. Coverage can depend on entity type or jurisdiction; other official sources may answer different questions.
What does a Singapore register entry show?
UEN (Unique Entity Number), Company name, Legal form. Availability of each field depends on what ACRA publishes.
Do register entries stay accurate?
Only until the company files its next change. Directors, addresses and status can change without notice, which is why a dated copy — or automatic monitoring of the entry — matters for anything contractual.
What is a UEN?
UEN (Unique Entity Number) is a standard identification number for all entities registered in Singapore. It's a 9 or 10-character alphanumeric code used for all government transactions. Format: XXXXXXXXX for businesses, TXXYYXXXXL for local companies.
