I do not have Corppass. What should I do?

You can apply for Corppass after you:

• Register your business, investment fund or professional service with ACRA

• Obtain your unique entity number (UEN)

You will need Corppass to file any Bizfile transactions on behalf of your entity.

What if I see "You are not authorised to view this page" when I log in with Corppass?

This error means your Corppass account may not be authorised for all of ACRA's eServices.

What you need to do:

1. Check if your Corppass account is authorised for all of these ACRA eServices (where applicable): 

   • ACRA Bizfile

   • ACRA VCC Companies (VCCs)

   • ACRA-ETMS-CP

   • ACRA API Markeplace

   • ACRA BizFinx

   • Bizfile transaction form

2. Assign Corppass to your Bizfile account.

To check which eServices you are authorised for:

1. Open the Corppass portal and log in with Singpass.

2. Select My Account, then click View My Profile and Assigned e-Services.

3. Check the “Customised e-Service Access” section to view the services you have been authorised for.

4. Check the “Default All e-Service Access” section: 

   • If the checkbox is ticked, you have access to all services onboarded with Corppass, in addition to any services in the "Customised e-Service Access" section.

   • If the checkbox is not ticked, you only have access to services in the "Customised e-Service Access" section.

Why can’t I see all my entities on the Corppass page?

You can only see entities for which you have been granted access rights through Corppass.

If you need access to additional entities, contact your company's Corppass Admin assign the necessary roles and access rights to you.

How can I check my transaction status?

You can check your transaction status anytime through Bizfile:

1. Log in to your Bizfile account.
