Singapore's Corppass: A Digital Overview
Corppass, or Singapore Corporate Access, is a digital authorization system in Singapore that allows businesses and other entities (like non-profit organizations and associations) to manage their employees' access to various government and participating private sector digital services. Think of it as a central platform for managing who in your organization can perform online transactions with government agencies.
Here's a breakdown of what Corppass is all about:
Key Features and Benefits:
Single Platform: It acts as a single point for businesses to manage transactions across multiple government agencies. This eliminates the need for different logins for each service.
Access to Numerous Services: Corppass provides access to over 250 digital services from various government bodies, including the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).
Role-Based Access Control: Businesses can assign specific roles and permissions to their employees, ensuring that individuals only have access to the services relevant to their job responsibilities. This enhances security and control.
Delegation of Authority: Business owners can delegate the task of performing online transactions to their employees while retaining oversight and the ability to manage their access.
Enhanced Security: Corppass employs security measures such as two-factor authentication (via Singpass) to protect sensitive information.
Streamlined Processes: By managing access in one place, Corppass helps businesses simplify their administrative processes.
Audit Trail: Users can typically view their transaction history on Corppass for a certain period, aiding in tracking and managing activities.
Foreign Entity Access: Foreign entities registered outside Singapore can also use Corppass to transact with selected government agencies.
Key Roles in Corppass:
Registered Officer (RO): The individual officially registered with ACRA or a relevant UEN-issuing agency. They are responsible for appointing Corppass Administrators.
Corppass Administrator: Appointed by the RO to set up and manage the company's Corppass account, including creating user accounts and assigning digital service access. An entity can have up to two administrators.
Corppass User: An employee authorized by the Corppass Administrator to perform transactions with government agencies on behalf of the entity. There is no limit to the number of Corppass users.
How to Get Corppass:
The registration process typically involves the following steps:
Nominate a Registered Officer (RO).
The RO appoints a Corppass Administrator.
The Corppass Administrator registers for an administrator account on the Corppass portal (https://www.corppass.gov.sg/portal), providing the entity's Unique Entity Number (UEN) and personal details.
The RO may need to approve the administrator's application.
Once the administrator account is set up, the administrator can create Corppass user accounts for employees and assign them access to specific digital services.
Users log in to Corppass using their Singpass credentials.
For foreign entities, the registration process is slightly different and requires the submission of business registration documents and identity verification.
In essence, Corppass acts as a secure and convenient digital key for businesses in Singapore to access and transact with a wide range of government services online, while providing control over employee access and permissions.
