When applying for licences, the individual or company applicant can either:

• Apply for licences on their own or
• Get a filer to apply on their behalf

The applicant will initiate the application process by submitting the application in the system.

Once submitted, the application is processed by the agency.

A notification will be sent to the applicant upon application submission. If the application received is completed and applicable payment has been made, the application will be sent to the respective agencies for processing. You will be notified via email on the application status.

Note: While the general procedure to apply for any licence is the same, the details to be entered in the licence application form vary with licence.

New Licence Application Process:

Step 2: Add the licence(s), and proceed to apply. To remove, you can either click on ‘Selected’ button again or choose theicon.

Step 3: Confirm the licence(s) you would like to apply. You can also view the estimated time to fill, fees & supporting documents required and the estimated processing time. For businesses that will like to proceed with the application later, you can keep a copy of the selected Licence(s) by using the ‘Email Me’ feature.

To proceed, select ‘APPLY’ and you will be prompted to login either via (i) Corppass (ii) Singpass or (iii) GoBusiness Licensing ID for foreigners. Note that you will be prompt to indicate your login profile (e.g. company UEN) as part of the login. Refer to the ‘Login Help’ for more details.

An application number will be generated for your reference, and you can use this application number to enquire the status in either the ‘Dashboard’ or ‘Application Enquiry’ function.
