Data Clarification and Retrieval

What data is available?

Please refer to the API specs.

Can we have the full list of UEN issuance agencies/appointments/country codes etc.?

Gov agencies: You may download the Code reference tables (for Entity object) at https://public.cloud.myinfo.gov.sg/edh/edh-api-code-tables.xlsx

Does Myinfo business only return information of entities registered by ACRA?

No, MyInfo Business retrieves data from all UEN issuance agencies, including ACRA, MOH, MOE, and others. The full list of agencies can be found in the ACRA FAQ under Entity Search (Non-ACRA Registered Entities) > Q2: Which agencies issue UEN?

Why are some addresses incomplete or missing fields (e.g., block number)?

Aside from ACRA, other UEN issuance agencies do not require addresses to be provided in a structured format. As such, fields like block number may be missing. If your digital service requires a complete address, the entity will need to contact their respective UEN issuance agency to update their registered address. Once updated, ACRA will send the revised address to MyInfo Business the following day. You may advise the applicant to retry after 12pm the next day.

Why are there no addresses for entity appointment holders/shareholders?

As per MIB specs, addresses are only available for individual appointment holders and shareholders. There are no address attributes for entity appointment holders or shareholders.

What are the special characters allowed in the entity name data field?

The following special characters are allowed in the entity name data field:

@, /, &, ., -, (, ), ', ,, ;, [, ], ~, !, ^, __, *, #, $, +, |, {, }, <, >, ?, \, :, =
