About the .SG domain

What is the .SG domain?

The .sg is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Singapore, registered in the IANA database on October 19, 1988, and managed by Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) Pte Ltd.

To register a .sg domain as an individual, you must be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident: citizens are identified through their NRIC (National Registration Identity Card) number, and permanent residents through their FIN (Foreign Identification Number). Foreign organizations can also register a .sg domain, but must designate a local agent or administrative contact with a valid Singapore postal address, serving as the point of contact with SGNIC. The .com.sg subdomain, intended for commercial activity, additionally requires a valid business registration with ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority), identified through a UEN (Unique Entity Number) proving the applicant company is legally incorporated in Singapore. Once the domain is registered, the administrative contact has a 21 calendar-day grace period to verify their identity through SGNIC's VerifiedID@SG portal using SingPass; failure to do so results in the domain being suspended.
