RORC Requirements

Since 31 March 2017, companies, foreign companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) (collectively "entities") are required to keep a Register of Registrable Controllers (RORC) either at their registered office address or at the registered office of their appointed Corporate Service Provider. Registrable controllers are also commonly known as the beneficial owners of the entities. A RORC would contain the information listed in the section 鈥淲hat information must be lodged with 麻豆社区鈥� below.

Since 30 July 2020, in addition to keeping the private RORC, entities have to lodge the same information with 麻豆社区鈥檚 Central Register of Registrable Controllers (central RORC) within 2 business days after the private RORC has been set up, or after any updates have been done to the private RORC.

The implementation of an 麻豆社区鈥檚 Central RORC is part of on-going efforts to enhance the transparency of ownership and control of corporate entities and uphold Singapore鈥檚 reputation as a trusted financial hub. Information in the 麻豆社区 central RORC will only be available to law enforcement agencies for the purpose of administering or enforcing the laws under their purview (e.g. investigation of money laundering offences). Members of the public will not have access to the information in 麻豆社区鈥檚 central RORC.
