About the .SG domain
What is the .SG domain?
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.
Individuals must be Singapore citizens or permanent residents, identified through their NRIC (citizens) or FIN (permanent residents) number. Foreign organizations can register a .sg domain, but must designate a local agent or administrative contact with a valid Singapore postal address. The .com.sg subdomain additionally requires a valid business registration with ACRA, identified through a UEN number. The administrative contact must verify their identity via SingPass within 21 days, or the domain is suspended. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
