National Digital Identity

Overview

Myinfo

All Singpass users are automatically provisioned with a Myinfo profile. Users are able to view their personal data and access records of past usage via the Singpass app.

By integrating with Myinfo API, Singpass users can share their data by providing consent via Singpass and organisations no longer have to deal with manual data management. With data from participating government sources, this allows the provisioning of products instantly, where applicable.

Myinfo allows residents and businesses to benefit from:

• Reduced repetitive filling of personal information for multiple online transactions;
• Reduced incidence of mistakes due to human error; and
• No more need for physical documents as verification to complete transactions.

Myinfo business

Myinfo business extends the rollout of Myinfo, a service that enables businesses to manage the use of its corporate and applicant’s personal data for simpler online transactions.

Business users can control and consent to share their data securely with participating businesses for more seamless digital transactions. They can enjoy less form-filling and a reduced need for providing supporting documentation for verifications.

While Myinfo allows businesses to acquire individual customers in a more seamless way, Myinfo business supports Business-to-business (B2B) use cases such as SME loan application, merchant acquisition and KYC.

Verify

Verify enables users to perform secure in-person identity verification and data sharing through scanning QR codes. This service provides businesses a digital alternative for visitor registration and access, customer acquisition at roadshows, or other use cases that require user identification.

Verify helps businesses:

• align with PDPC’s NRIC Advisory Guidelines, by verifying users digitally without collecting or retaining physical NRICs, FIN cards, and NRIC/FIN numbers. Please refer to the PDPC’s Technical Guide here.
• enable self-service and contactless verification (e.g. kiosks for registration, or age-verification stations).

Sign

Sign enables users to digitally sign documents using their Singpass App by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen before authenticating themselves. Sign employs technology to ensure the integrity of the signed document and to counter repudiation. Businesses and services such as document signing applications can integrate and provide trusted signatures directly with Singpass, increasing trust and assurance with their existing document signing products. Signing with Singpass provides convenience, productivity and efficiency - citizens no longer need to be physically present to sign documents and agreements, and businesses can digitalise document verification and filing.

Sign with Singpass uses signing certificates issued by the National Certification Authority. Upon the National Certification Authority’s accreditation, signatures made using the Sign with Singpass will be regarded as secure electronic signatures under Singapore’s Electronic Transactions Act.
