What documents do individual directors and shareholders need to set up a Singapore company?

Individual directors and shareholders usually need a copy of their passport (for Singapore residents, a copy of their NRIC or pass), proof of address in English, a verification photo of themselves holding their ID, and their email address and contact number.

These documents are used for ACRA registration and the incorporation agent's customer due diligence (KYC) procedures. Documents not in English may require a notarised translation.

• Residents of Korea: Copy of passport, resident registration certificate in English (proof of address), verification photo
• Singapore residents (EP, DP, PR): Copy of NRIC or pass, and proof of address such as a recently issued utility bill, tenancy agreement or bank statement. Citizens and permanent residents may in some cases be exempt from providing proof of address.
• Corporate shareholders, such as a Korean parent company: A business registration certificate in English, a notarised letter appointing a representative of the corporate shareholder, the register of shareholders and other documents are also required.
