Beginning May 2013, the Singapore domain registration authority will require verification of domain name owners changing or applying for new .SG domains. This measure is the result of previous cases of identity theft and fraudulent registration of .SG domain names using fake identities.

The amount and type of names a registrant may apply for is not restricted, however a local administrative contact must be provided. The new procedures require that the Admin-C of a new domain registration must send a verification of the contact information and identity of the new .SG or .COM.SG domain registrant via email to the registry. The admin-c must be a resident of Singapore! It is important to note that this new procedure will only affect future owner changes of existing domain names (and not existing .SG or .COM.SG domain name registrations).
