Critical Requirement
The domain admin contact must verify the domain through SGNIC's VerifiedID@SG and RegistryLock Portal using SingPass or CorpPass. Failure to complete verification may lead to registry suspension or renewal restrictions.
Local Presence Requirement
All .SG domain extensions require an admin contact with local presence in Singapore. The admin contact usually verifies using one of the following:
- SingPass ID for eligible individual Singapore residents.
- CorpPass for Singapore registered organizations.
Eligibility Notes
A .sg registrant may be an individual or organization from any country, as long as the admin contact satisfies local presence requirements. A .com.sg registrant must be a registered business or qualifying entity connected to Singapore business records, with a local admin contact.
Verification Timeline
- SGNIC contacts the admin contact after registration to verify registrant details.
- Verification should be completed within 21 calendar days from the registration date.
- Registrant detail changes may require re-verification by the domain admin.
- WHOIS records may show verification status; use accurate registrant and admin details from the start.
