Individuals (including professionals) who need to transact in a business capacity with
the government are required to use a CorpPass. The business will have to be UEN-registered to be eligible for
CorpPass.
For example:
Mr Tan, an architect, wishes to hire 10 architectural assistants who are
foreigners, and needs to apply for work passes for them to work in Singapore
during his project. The application of a work pass is in the capacity of his
architectural business and thus, will require the registration of a UEN, making him
eligible for CorpPass. He can then log in to Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM)
digital service using CorpPass to apply for the required work passes.
If Mr Tan is an individual practising architect, he can continue using SingPass
to submit building plans to Building & Construction Authority (BCA).
