# Getting Started

## Prerequisites for access

1. **NRIC/FIN Holder**
   * You must possess a valid NRIC/FIN.
2. **Singpass Account**
   * You must have an active Singpass account.
   * If you do not have a valid Singpass account, refer to this [FAQ](https://ask.gov.sg/singpass/questions/clul27aq60028yisxifw2l2w3?from=quicklinks) for guidance on registration.

### Locating Your Corppass Admin

If you are unsure who your Corppass Admin is, refer to this [FAQ on Finding Your Corppass Admin](https://ask.gov.sg/corppass/questions/cm1q0y3r00053wdnwc1hjxu0j?from=search) for assistance.

***

### If you already have "Default Access to all Digital Services"

* You will automatically have access to CDP if your Corppass account has previously been configured with '*Default access to all digital services'*. ([how to check](https://ask.gov.sg/corppass/questions/cm6ryazs90071aqz9wufc39qe))
* Please note however, that your default role on CDP will be **'Read-Only User'** in this case. Learn more about [roles in CDP](/corppass-developer-portal-cdp/user-guide/portal-features/user-roles-and-permissions.md) and their respective permissions.
* If you need a higher access level, you will need your entity's Corppass Admin / Sub-Admin to authorise you for CDP and change the role assignment.
