<a href="https://www.acra.gov.sg/legislation/legislative-reform/acra-(registry-and-regulatory-enhancements)-bill" title="ACRA (Registry and Regulatory Enhancements) Bill">ACRA (Registry and Regulatory Enhancements) Bill</a> on 2 July
2024 by Parliament, ACRA will be introducing the use of <strong>Contact Address</strong> to enhance the protection of residential addresses filed with the Registrar.<br>
<br> As the national business registry, ACRA maintains and makes publicly available information about business entities and associated individuals, including their residential addresses, to facilitate regulatory and enforcement actions.
By the end of 2024, Contact Address will be shown in ACRA’s public records in place of the residential address. <br>
<h2>Transitioning to the new Contact Address Regime </h2>
<p>
<span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>For Individuals who are Position Holders (e.g. company directors, business owners) and Public Accountants</strong></span><br>
<br> Currently, there is the option to provide an Alternate Address at a fee of $40 which will be displayed in ACRA’s public records in place of the residential address. The Contact Address regime will replace the existing Alternate
Address regime by the end of 2024. <br> <br> To facilitate the transition to the new Contact Address regime, all existing Alternate Addresses filed with ACRA will be automatically converted to Contact Addresses by the end of
the year. <br>
<br> We strongly encourage individuals who have not previously opted for an Alternate Address to consider providing one to ACRA before the Contact Address regime commences by the end of this year. Their residential address will continue
to be publicly displayed as their Contact Address until a different address is provided to ACRA. The $40 fee for filing an Alternate Address will be waived from <strong>23 August 2024</strong> onwards. No action is needed for
individuals who prefer to use their residential address as their Contact Address.
</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>For Individuals who are solely shareholders</strong></span><br>
<br> These individuals may wish to engage their company secretaries or Corporate Service Providers to check the address currently registered with ACRA. If it is a residential address, they can choose to provide another address to ACRA
that they would like to be reflected as the Contact Address when the regime takes effect by end of the year.
</p>
<p> <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>For Corporate Service Providers</strong></span><br>
<br> Corporate service providers are urged to check their clients' preferred addresses and update ACRA accordingly.
</p>
<h4>Updating Alternate Address for Individuals who are Position Holders or Public Accountants</h4>
<br> Individuals who are existing position holders or public accountants can provide an Alternate Address through the various eServices in <a href="https://www.bizfile.gov.sg" title="BizFile+">BizFile+</a> (refer to the table below).
New position holders and public accountants should provide an Alternate Address at the point of registration. <br>

<h4>Updating Alternate Addresses for Individuals who are both Position Holders and Shareholders </h4>
<br> Individuals who are both position holders and shareholders can only provide or update their Alternate Addresses <strong>as position holders</strong> through the eServices in the table above, when they are filing changes to their
personal particulars. <br>
<h4>Updating Contact Address for Individuals who hold no other positions in an entity and are only Shareholders </h4>
<br> Individuals who are solely shareholders are not eligible to file an Alternate Address. However, they are eligible for the Contact Address regime. A shareholder’s address that is currently displayed in ACRA’s public records will be
automatically converted to a Contact Address upon the commencement of the Contact Address regime by the end of 2024. Shareholders who wish to update their addresses can do so by engaging their company secretaries or Corporate Service
Providers to file the update via ACRA’s “<strong>Change in Particulars of Shareholders</strong>” eService. <br>

As the national business registry, ACRA maintains and makes publicly available information about business entities and associated individuals, including their residential addresses, to facilitate regulatory and enforcement actions. By the end of 2024, Contact Address will be shown in ACRA’s public records in place of the residential address. TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW CONTACT ADDRESS REGIME For Individuals who are Position Holders (e.g. company directors, business owners) and Public Accountants Currently, there is the option to provide an Alternate Address at a fee of $40 which will be displayed in ACRA’s public records in place of the residential address. The Contact Address regime will replace the existing Alternate Address regime by the end of 2024. To facilitate the transition to the new Contact Address regime, all existing Alternate Addresses filed with ACRA will be automatically converted to Contact Addresses by the end of the year. We strongly encourage individuals who have not previously opted for an Alternate Address to consider providing one to ACRA before the Contact Address regime commences by the end of this year. Their residential address will continue to be publicly displayed as their Contact Address until a different address is provided to ACRA. The $40 fee for filing an Alternate Address will be waived from 23 August 2024 onwards. No action is needed for individuals who prefer to use their residential address as their Contact Address. For Individuals who are solely shareholders These individuals may wish to engage their company secretaries or Corporate Service Providers to check the address currently registered with ACRA. If it is a residential address, they can choose to provide another address to ACRA that they would like to be reflected as the Contact Address when the regime takes effect by end of the year. For Corporate Service Providers Corporate service providers are urged to check their clients' preferred addresses and update ACRA accordingly. UPDATING ALTERNATE ADDRESS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE POSITION HOLDERS OR PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Individuals who are existing position holders or public accountants can provide an Alternate Address through the various eServices in BizFile+ (refer to the table below).
