All certificates are issued only after rigorous multi-layered assessment.
Real-Time Status
The registry reflects the current standing of every certificate, including suspensions and revocations.
Publicly Accessible
Any party — businesses, consumers, or platforms — may verify a certificate at no cost.
A certificate lookup returns one of four possible statuses.
The certificate is legitimate and currently valid. The named entity passed assessment and remains in good standing as of the last monitoring cycle.
The certificate has been permanently cancelled. The named entity no longer holds a valid credential. Exercise appropriate caution.
The certificate was legitimately issued but has passed its validity period and has not been renewed. It is no longer current. The named entity must undergo a new assessment to reinstate certification.
No certificate matching this number exists in our registry. This may indicate a typographical error, or the certificate presented to you may be fraudulent. If you believe you have received a fraudulent certificate, contact us immediately.

Certified Businesses
Businesses certified by Data Bureau (Singapore) speak to the experience of going through the assessment process.
“We went through the certification process expecting a checkbox exercise. It was not. The assessment looked at how we actually operate — our documentation, our processes, our conduct with clients. The result is a credential that means something because the process was thorough.”
Daniel Chua
Director
Freight & Supply Chain
“Being listed in the registry has made a tangible difference in how prospective clients approach initial conversations. The ability to say “verify us before you engage” and have that be a real, publicly accessible check has shortened due diligence cycles noticeably.”
Priya Nair
Managing Director
Professional Services
“What stood out was that the assessment criteria were published. We knew exactly what was being evaluated and why. When we had questions during the process, they were answered clearly. The outcome felt earned rather than administrative.”
