Creating a DNC Registry Account

To use the services on the DNC Registry, you will need to apply for a main account on the DNC Registry website. 

Each organisation/individual is allowed to apply for only one main account. You may create one or more sub-accounts to allow more than one user to perform telephone number checks against the DNC Registry. 

Information required for registration is as follows:

• For organisations registered in Singapore
  • Unique Entity Number (UEN) 
  • A representative’s Singpass

• For overseas organisations not registered or present in Singapore
  • Company registration information
  • Phone/utility bill
  • A user ID will be issued upon successful application.

• For individuals
  • Singpass

If you are checking the DNC Registry on behalf of another organisation(s), please indicate the name of the organisation(s) on the declaration page during the account creation process. The list can be amended subsequently.

Upon successful creation of the account, an activation link will be sent to the email address provided.

    • Filtered Numbers - The list of submitted numbers together with their status in each Register. Rejected numbers will not be listed in this file. (sample)
    • Summary - A summary of the submission. (sample)

Telephone numbers submitted will be checked against all three DNC Registers. Results returned from the DNC Registry are valid for up to 21 days. Once this has lapsed, please perform another check against the DNC Registry if your organisation intends to continue its telemarketing activities.
