What is the purpose of implementing CorpPass?
|
|
A：
|
CorpPass’s single corporate digital identity structure enhances the level of convenience for users, especially those who conduct transactions with multiple government agencies because they will not need to handle multiple login identities anymore. This allows businesses to have a greater level of control as well since they will be able to grant access and manage the employees’ access to these digital government services.

Q：
|
If I am a foreign director of a Singapore Company, can I register for a CorpPass account on behalf of the company on my own?
|
|
A：
|
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Currently, only the local Registered Officer(s) or appointed persons who hold a SingPass account can register for a CorpPass account on behalf of the entity and appointed as a CorpPass Administrator. You may engage the local director or secretary to register a CorpPass account on behalf of the entity.
However, the CorpPass Administrator can create a CorpPass User account for the foreign director who does not hold a SingPass account for them to transact with Government agencies on behalf of the entity.
