Singpass Myinfo integration: a guide for businesses in Singapore
How a business accepts Singpass and Myinfo: what users see, the data you receive, MAS Notice 626, onboarding, how Singpass prices Login and Myinfo, who cannot use it, and the document fallback.
By Alberto RosasCo-founder & CEO, DiditUpdated 
In short
Singpass Myinfo lets a Singapore-registered business sign users in with Singpass, the national digital identity that counted 5.5 million users as of 30 June 2026, and fill its forms with consented data from government sources.[1] Pricing is per transaction; the first 50,000 Login transactions a month are free.[7]
- Users must be Singapore citizens, permanent residents or Foreign Identification Number (FIN) holders aged 15 or over.[4]
- Singpass cannot be your only option: its onboarding rules require a manual or alternative route.[9]
- Myinfo Plus has no free tier.[7]
Singpass Myinfo integration is how a business in Singapore turns a long sign-up form into one tap: the user logs in with Singpass, sees exactly which government-held details the service asks for, and approves. This guide covers the flow, the data, the law, onboarding, pricing and the fallback.
What Singpass and Myinfo are
Singpass is Singapore's national digital identity: residents use it to log in to government and business services and to sign documents.[2] Myinfo is the consented data service on top of it: every Singpass user has a Myinfo profile, and services pre-fill forms from it with the user's consent each time.[1][5]

Singpass and Myinfo milestones for a business.[1][2][5][6]
Singpass adoption in numbers
GovTech counts 5.5 million users and more than 41 million personal and corporate transactions a month.[1] The coverage figure comes from a different source: the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) factsheet of 2 March 2022 puts it at 97% of Singapore citizens and permanent residents aged 15 and above.[3] About 90% of transactions go through the app.[1]
On Myinfo, the same factsheet counts more than 1,800 digital services offering it in April 2026, the date it gives for that count. It also reports about 30 million Myinfo transactions a month and says businesses report up to 15% higher approval rates.[1]
What the user sees
The user clicks the Singpass button in your service and scans a QR code with the Singpass app. They confirm with face, fingerprint or a six-digit passcode in the app. For Myinfo, their consent is sought for every transaction.[1] The screens below illustrate that path; the button wording is an example.

What a business receives from Singpass Myinfo
Nothing is returned by default. Singpass Login gives you a signed ID token that proves the login.[7] Myinfo gives you the scopes you request, once the user consents.[1] Singpass requires a justification for every scope, and your screens must show users the exact data retrieved.[9] The table groups the scopes named in the pricing documents by tier.[6][7][8]
| Group | Example scopes | Pricing tier |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | NRIC or FIN, name, date of birth, nationality | Myinfo Standard |
| Contact | Registered address, mobile number, email | Myinfo Standard |
| Family, education, work | Marital status, dependants, qualifications, employer | Myinfo Standard |
| Licences, housing, vehicles | Licences, public housing (HDB) ownership, vehicles | Myinfo Standard |
| Central Provident Fund (CPF) | Balances, 15 months of contributions, housing withdrawals | Myinfo Plus |
| Tax and property | Notice of Assessment, private property ownership | Myinfo Plus |
The identifier scope is the identity card number (NRIC) or the FIN.[8] This guide does not restate formats or per-scope rules; the data catalogue is the reference.
Watch out
Before you design the form, read the Myinfo data catalogue entry for every scope you plan to request.[8]
Registered address is among the scopes a service can request.[7] The sources reviewed do not confirm that Myinfo returns a portrait. Singpass Face Verification compares a face scan with government records inside Singpass as an authentication step; it is not a photo you receive.[1][7]
Legal standing and anti-money laundering checks
Singpass is a government service run by GovTech; the sources reviewed name no dedicated Singpass statute.[1][2] The GovTech factsheet says Singpass signatures are recognised as Secure Electronic Signatures under Singapore's Electronic Transactions Act.[1]
For banks, the anti-money laundering (AML) rules sit in MAS Notice 626 of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, last revised on 30 June 2025.[11]
Paragraph 6.9MAS Notice 626, Prevention of Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism, Banks
"A bank shall verify the identity of the customer using reliable, independent source data, documents or information."
Source: Monetary Authority of Singapore, Notice 626[11]
Paragraph 6.9 sets the test and does not settle it for Myinfo: the notice text does not name Myinfo, and the sources reviewed confirm no MAS clause that does. The notice also requires that customer due diligence without face-to-face contact be at least as strong as with it (paragraph 6.29).[11] The government developer portal says that since the Myinfo API opened to the private sector in 2017, financial institutions and insurance firms have adopted it to streamline know your customer (KYC) checks.[5] Whether Myinfo alone meets paragraph 6.9 for a given customer is your institution's documented assessment, not something the notice states.
For customers in Europe, the rules differ; the EUDI Wallet guide covers that side.
How to connect: direct onboarding or a provider
Private organisations onboard directly through the Singpass Developer Portal:[7]
- Your organisation must be a Singapore-registered entity, with a Unique Entity Number (UEN) and Corppass; regulated firms provide their licences.[9]
- You file a linkup application.
- For production you submit a user journey, which is routed for approval.[10]
- The Singpass docs reserve mandatory Face Verification for high-risk cases, such as banking digital tokens.[10]
The integration itself is OpenID Connect, and a banner on the Singpass developer docs announces the Financial-grade API (FAPI) 2.0 documentation with the words "Migration Required by 31 Dec 2026".[6] GovTech describes a sandbox for testing before rollout.[5] The pages reviewed give no onboarding lead time.
User logs in and consents
Simplified. A Login transaction counts when the signed ID token is returned; a Myinfo transaction counts when the person data is retrieved.[7]
The alternative is a provider that already built the connection. The sources reviewed describe no Singpass certification for intermediaries, so ask whose registration holds the agreement and who is billed.

What it costs
Singpass publishes the price structure. Its pricing page says detailed rates are in the Developer Portal; none were visible without logging in on 5 October 2026.[6]
| Item | Free tier | How it is charged |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | No fee | Not applicable |
| Singpass Login | First 50,000 a month per UEN | Tiered per transaction, by login method |
| Myinfo Standard | First 5,000 a month per UEN | Tiered per transaction |
| Myinfo Plus (CPF, tax and property scopes) | None | Per transaction |
| Face Verification as a required factor | None | Per successful check, on top of Login or Myinfo charges; not billed when Singpass's fraud analytics trigger it[6] |
| Sign with Singpass, Myinfo Business | Free for now | Subject to change with notice |
One Plus scope makes the whole transaction Plus, and the rates are not negotiable.[6][7]
Use cases and sector rules
| Use case | What to use | What the sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Bank and fintech onboarding | Myinfo Standard; Plus only for income data | Verification must use reliable, independent source data (MAS Notice 626, paragraph 6.9)[11] |
| Age checks | Myinfo date of birth | According to Bird & Bird, app stores in Singapore are required to run age assurance[12] |
| Contracts and signing | Sign with Singpass | 1.2 million+ documents signed in the past year, per the factsheet of 30 June 2026[1] |
| High-risk account actions | Login with mandatory Face Verification | Reserved for high-risk use cases, according to the Singpass developer docs; approval required[10] |
Limits and fallbacks
Singpass is open to Singapore citizens, permanent residents and FIN holders aged 15 or over, so it does not reach every customer:[2][4]
- Anyone under 15, the minimum age to register.
- Foreigners without a FIN, such as tourists and non-residents.
- Users who prefer not to use Singpass; the onboarding rules require an alternative for them.[9]
On security, Singpass passkeys are bound to the real Singpass login domain, so they do not work on fake sites.[1] Singpass triggers Face Verification itself when its fraud analytics see risk.[7] GovTech warns users they may be criminally liable if others use their account.[2] The sources reviewed publish no outage history or service level.
The fallback is a document route: read the identity card or passport chip with near-field communication (NFC), check liveness and match the selfie to the chip photo, as explained in what eID verification is.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Singpass and Myinfo?
Singpass is the login: it proves who the user is and returns a signed ID token. Myinfo is the data service on top: with the user's consent, it sends your service personal data from government sources to pre-fill a form.[1][7]
How much does Singpass Myinfo cost a private company?
There is no setup fee, and pricing is per transaction. The first 50,000 Login and 5,000 Myinfo Standard transactions a month per UEN are free; Myinfo Plus (CPF, tax and property data) has no free tier. For the rates that apply to you, see the pricing FAQ and your Singpass Developer Portal account.[6][7]
What data does Myinfo return?
Only the scopes you requested and the user approved, such as NRIC or FIN, name, date of birth, nationality, registered address, mobile and email. The Myinfo data catalogue has the full list.[7][8]
Can foreigners use Singpass?
Yes, if they hold a Foreign Identification Number (FIN) and are 15 or older. Foreigners without a FIN cannot register and need another route.[4]
Can minors use Singpass?
Only from age 15, the minimum age to register. Younger users need another route, such as a document check.[4]
Does MAS accept Myinfo for customer due diligence?
MAS Notice 626 requires reliable, independent source data, documents or information and does not name Myinfo. The government developer portal says financial institutions have adopted Myinfo to streamline KYC checks since the API opened to the private sector in 2017. The assessment is yours to document.[5][11]
What level of assurance does Singpass have?
No eIDAS level, because it is not an EU scheme. The Singpass developer docs say mandatory Face Verification is reserved for high-risk use cases only, such as digital token setup for banking apps.[10]
Can a company outside Singapore integrate Singpass?
Not directly. The organisation must be a Singapore-registered entity with a Unique Entity Number (UEN) and Corppass, so a foreign company needs a local entity or a provider that holds the integration.[7][9]
How long does Singpass onboarding take, and what does it require?
The pages reviewed give no lead time, as of 5 October 2026. You need a Singapore-registered entity with a UEN and Corppass, a linkup application, an approved user journey, an OpenID Connect client and sandbox testing. A banner on the developer docs says migration to FAPI 2.0 is required by 31 December 2026.[5][6][7][9][10]
