🇸🇬 Singapore UEN Lookup — Live ACRA Company Search (data.gov.sg)

Look up any Singapore-registered entity in bulk by name or UEN, straight from the official ACRA "Entities Registered with ACRA" dataset on data.gov.sg. Pass a single query or a whole list and the actor returns UEN, entity name, entity type, registration status, issue date, issuance agency, and registered street + postal code — with proxy rotation and rate-limit retry baked in so large KYC and B2B-prospecting batches finish cleanly. This is the streamlined, fast, live UEN/name lookup that owns the Singapore ACRA head term. Need curated director, auditor, and paid-up-capital enrichment for top SG entities? Use the companion actor below.

Need director / auditor / capital enrichment? →

This actor is the fast, broad-coverage live lookup — it returns the core ACRA registry fields for any UEN or company name across all Singapore entities. The public data.gov.sg dataset does not expose directors, auditors, or share capital.

If you need that depth, use the companion actor:

➡️ Singapore ACRA Companies (director / auditor / capital enriched) — curated director-network, auditor, and paid-up-capital fields for Singapore's most-searched entities.

	This actor (Company Lookup)	ACRA Companies (enriched)
Best for	Fast live UEN / name lookup, any entity	Director / auditor / capital depth
Coverage	Any SG entity (live data.gov.sg)	Curated top SG entities
Fields	UEN, name, type, status, issue date, address	+ directors, auditor, paid-up capital
Use when	Bulk verify, screen, resolve on UEN	Board diligence, UBO / director mapping

What You Get Per Company

Each dataset item is a flat JSON record sourced live from the ACRA dataset on data.gov.sg:

• query — the name/UEN you searched
• uen — Unique Entity Number (canonical Singapore identifier)
• entity_name — registered entity name
• entity_type — e.g. Local Company, Business, LLP, LP, Public Company
• status — UEN status (e.g. Registered, Cancelled, De-Registered)
• registration_date — UEN issue date
• issuance_agency — issuing agency (e.g. ACRA)
• reg_street_name, reg_postal_code — registered address components
• address — composed registered address (street + postal code)
• scraped_at — fetch timestamp (UTC)

Note: directors, auditors, share capital, and SSIC codes are not in the public data.gov.sg ACRA dataset (primary_ssic_* / secondary_ssic_* are returned as null). For director/auditor/capital depth, use the enriched companion actor linked above.

Use Cases (KYC & Due Diligence)

• Bulk UEN verification — match a customer / vendor list against the live registry
• AML status checks — flag struck-off / cancelled / de-registered entities before onboarding
• Entity resolution — key your graph on canonical UEN + registered name
• Industry / type screening — filter by entity type (Local Company, LLP, LP, etc.)
• B2B prospecting — clean and dedupe lead lists against live ACRA records
• Accounting & audit — confirm UEN-to-entity mapping during reconciliation

FAQ

Q: Is this live ACRA data? A: Yes — it queries the official data.gov.sg "Entities Registered with ACRA" dataset in real time on every run.

Q: Can I look up many companies at once? A: Yes — pass an array under queries (or companies / names). The actor paginates and retries on rate limits.

Q: Does it return directors or auditors? A: No — the public data.gov.sg ACRA dataset doesn't expose officers, auditors, share capital, or SSIC codes. Use the ACRA Companies (enriched) actor for director / auditor / capital depth.

Q: What identifiers can I search by? A: Company name or UEN. Comma- or newline-separated strings are auto-split.

Q: Output formats? A: JSON, CSV, Excel via Apify dataset export. Webhooks supported on dataset write.

Q: Legal status? A: Public registry data, freely accessible from ACRA via data.gov.sg. You are the data controller for downstream use — follow PDPA / your jurisdiction's data-use rules.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per record written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, no-match rows, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
