Document tips for a smooth process

🛂

Proof of address

Must be dated within the last 3 months. Acceptable documents include utility bills, bank statements, or official government letters showing your full residential address.

📷

Photo identification

Singapore citizens and PRs use their NRIC. Foreign founders must provide a valid passport. Certified true copies may be required for overseas directors.

🏷️

Company name

Prepare 2–3 name options in order of preference. Names that are identical or similar to existing companies, or that contain reserved words, may be rejected by ACRA.

📊

Share structure

Decide how shares will be split between shareholders before you start. Changes after incorporation require a formal resolution and ACRA filing.
