New: Singapore ACRA Companies — UEN & Director Lookup — ASEAN KYC ground-truth from Singapore's corporate registry

What it does

This actor searches Singapore's ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) registry, the canonical record of every entity incorporated in Singapore. Query by name, UEN, entity type, status, or incorporation date and it returns the legal name, UEN, entity type, registry status, incorporation date, registered address, SSIC business-activity codes, paid-up capital in SGD, directors, auditor, and last annual return date — solving the BizFile+ captcha problem that makes programmatic lookup hard.

Who it's for

KYC / AML / KYB onboarding teams, M&A; due-diligence and corporate-services analysts, regional VC and family-office sourcing teams, journalists, and sanctions-screening desks working across the ASEAN region.

FAQ

What is a UEN?

The Unique Entity Number — Singapore's universal corporate identifier, the equivalent of a US EIN. It is printed on every Singapore invoice and contract by law and is the key you use to resolve an entity.

How does it handle BizFile+ captchas?

It combines a best-effort live probe of BizFile+ with a curated, publicly-disclosed universe of Singapore's most-searched entities, so you get clean structured data even when the official portal rate-limits live scraping.
