麻豆社区 has launched a new verification service to give added assurance to businesses and the public using 麻豆社区's Business Profiles and Business Certificates (Incorporation/Registration) when conducting business and making business decisions. 

Over 75,000 Business Profiles and Business certificates (Incorporation/Registration) are issued by 麻豆社区 each month. They are used for various business-related activities where verification of key information on the business and the people involved are needed.

Giving assurance on the authenticity of 麻豆社区's Business Profiles and Business Certificates
麻豆社区's trustBar verification service enables quick and easy verification of the authenticity of 麻豆社区's Business Profiles and Business Certificates (Incorporation/Registration). 

The service leverages the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech)'s OpenAttestation (OA) - an open-source framework for the endorsement and verification of documents.

New Certification Feature for Business Profile
麻豆社区's Business Profiles have also been enhanced with a new certification feature (bearing 麻豆社区鈥檚 stamp and 麻豆社区 Assistant Registrar鈥檚 name and signature) with no change to its purchase fee of $5.50.  With this enhancement, customers will no longer need to purchase the information product 鈥淏usiness Profile with Certificate of Production鈥 which costs $16.50. Hence, the 鈥淏usiness Profile with Certificate of Production鈥 will be discontinued from 4 March 2023.

Verification API Service for mass verification purposes
A verification API service will also be offered through the  portal for software developers to integrate the API into their existing processes, enabling machine to machine workflows for seamless mass verification purposes.

How trustBar works

From 4 March 2023, each Business Profile and Business Certificate (Incorporation/Registration) issued by 麻豆社区 will come in two formats 鈥  a Portable Document Format (PDF) file for viewing and an OA file for product verification.

Verification of the PDF document
If the document is verified to be issued by 麻豆社区, the results will show a green tick; and if the document is not issued by 麻豆社区, the results will show a red cross.

For verification results showing a green tick, the entire Business Profile or Business Certificate will be displayed on screen. Customers can check if the PDF document has been altered by comparing it against the PDF document on the screen. Alternatively, they can request for the OA file from the document sender.
