Changes in Particulars of VCC officers and manager

If there are changes to the particulars of your VCC officers (e.g. director, secretary) or manager, you must update the information by filing the "Change in Particulars of VCC Officers & Manager “ at www.vcc.bizfile.gov.sg within 14 days.

You can update the following information:

For VCC officers:

  • Name (note: deed poll must be attached) *
  • Identification type *
  • Identification number *
  • Residential Address *
  • Nationality *
  • Email address
  • Local/overseas mobile number

  • Address of principal place of business

There is no fee to file these changes. However, a penalty may be imposed for late filing.

* Note: Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents are not required to update ACRA on changes to their residential address, personal name, nationality, identification type and number. ACRA will obtain the information directly from the relevant agency. For such changes, please notify the Immigration and Check Points Authority of Singapore (ICA) at www.ica.gov.sg.

For personal data protection purposes, VCC officers have the option of registering an Alternate Address for $40.  Once you have registered an Alternate Address, it will be displayed in ACRA’s public records instead of your residential address.  However, all official correspondences from ACRA will continue to be sent to your residential address. You are therefore still required to submit your residential address for record purposes. 

The alternate address must be an address where you can be contacted (e.g. your office, your corporate service provider’s office, etc.), and must be within the same jurisdiction as the residential address. It cannot be a P.O. Box address. 

To update these changes, please visit www.vcc.bizfile.gov.sg > EServices > Making Changes > Change in Particulars of VCC Officers & Manager.
