Unique Entity Number (UEN)

One Number for your convenience
One Number for all your interactions with the Government

What is UEN?

The Unique Entity Number is like the NRIC number of your entity.

From 1 January 2009, all entities such as businesses, companies, and services that operate in Singapore can start interacting with government agencies using their UEN.

What will be my UEN?

If you are a business or local company registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (IRAS), there will be no change for you. Your existing ACRA registration number will be retained as your UEN. 

How does UEN benefit me?

Your UEN is your one number for convenient interaction with government agencies. Whether is filing your corporate tax returns or applying for import and export permit, you will no longer need to use different numbers to interact with different government agencies. Your UEN will be all that you need. 

Making UEN work for me

From 1 January 2009, existing identification numbers issued by various government agencies will be replaced by UEN. Some of the commonly used numbers include:

Central Registration Number (issued by DOS)
Employer Reference Number (issued by CPFB)
Tax Reference Number (issued by IRAS)

If you are using these numbers to identify your customers in your systems, you might want to update your customer database with their UEN. Tools will be made available via the UEN website to assist you in your updates.

UEN Website

You can visit www.uen.gov.sg for more information about UEN and to find out how your entity can make a smooth transition to UEN. You can also look up information such as an entity's name, UEN and registered address at this website.
