UEN
Also known as: Unique Entity Number
- Definition
- A Unique Entity Number (UEN) is the standard identification number issued by ACRA to every Singapore-registered entity — companies, sole proprietorships, partnerships, statutory bodies, and others.
The UEN is a 10-character identifier (e.g. 201234567A) used across all Singapore government interactions. It is the canonical corporate identifier separate from the MAS licence number — a firm has one UEN for its existence as a legal entity, and one or more MAS licence numbers for the regulated activities it conducts. WealthManagement.sg surfaces both: the UEN identifies the legal entity, the MAS licence numbers identify the regulatory activities.
