A Guide to CorpPass and How to Set It Up for Your Company and Staff

Like how SingPass helps Singaporeans access government services, CorpPass is a similar service for businesses and other ACRA-registered entities to transact with the government digitally.

Since 2018, CorpPass has replaced SingPass and EASY as the only login method for companies and organisations when accessing Singapore government services.

Available CorpPass types

The government recognises that there are many different roles in a company. From routine duties performed by HR managers to people with fiduciary responsibilities like owners and directors, CorpPass supports the creation of different user accounts to suit these various duties. This means an appropriate level of access can be tailored to each person based on the tasks they need to perform.

Registered Officer: For companies registered with ACRA, your Registered Officer is the Officer in your entity’s BizFile. This could be the business owner, company director, secretary, or an authorised representative. Registered Officers can also appoint another user (or themselves) to be a CorpPass Admin.

CorpPass Admin: This is someone designated by the entity’s Registered Officer to manage CorpPass accounts, as well as view and transact on the company’s behalf. CorpPass Admins are usually the people in charge of corporate services, such as the Head of Admin, Finance or Human Resources. There can only be a maximum of 2 CorpPass Admins.

CorpPass Sub-Admin: This is an optional type of account created by the CorpPass Admin, when they require assistance with the entity’s CorpPass accounts. CorpPass Admins can grant CorpPass Sub-Admins the same access as themselves or a restricted set of permissions. Generally, CorpPass Sub-Admins are the managers in corporate services.

Enquiry User: This account allows users like auditors, secretaries and other company directors to view the details of the entity’s CorpPass as well as transact with the digital services.

User: Based on permissions granted by the CorpPass Admin or Sub-Admin, this account can transact with the digital services. Examples of users are corporate services executives, payroll staff and human resources managers.

How to start using CorpPass

Here is a flowchart of how a Registered Officer can register for a CorpPass Admin account:

Assuming that the Registered Officer is a valid SingPass holder, the simplest way to start is to visit CorpPass’ website and click on “Register as a CorpPass Admin”. After that, he/she can appoint another CorpPass Admin or Sub-Admin.

To begin the registration process, the Registered Officer should have the following information on hand:

• Unique Entity Number (UEN) of your company/organisation
• Full name, NRIC number, email address and SingPass login credentials of the Registered Officer.

If you are creating additional CorpPass accounts, you will also need to have the user’s full name, NRIC number and email address. Depending on the structure of your business entity, this is the flowchart for creating additional CorpPass users:
