# General

### What is Signify?

Signify is a Singapore government product to allow agencies to collect Sign with Singpass signatures on documents.

### Who can use Signify?

All government agencies, as well as public healthcare institutions in Singapore, can use Signify. You can log in with your agency email address at [www.signify.gov.sg](https://guide.signify.gov.sg/frequently-asked-questions/faq/www.signify.gov.sg).

The documents can be sent to anyone with a Singpass account for signing.

### Is there any cost to using Signify?

No, there is no cost. Signify is free of charge.

### Is there any onboarding required to use Signify? Do I need to be whitelisted?

All government agencies, as well as public healthcare institutions in Singapore, have been automatically whitelisted and there is no need to request for whitelisting. Log in with your agency email address at [www.signify.gov.sg](https://guide.signify.gov.sg/frequently-asked-questions/faq/www.signify.gov.sg).&#x20;

If you are unable to log in and wish to apply for whitelisting, please contact us at: <https://go.gov.sg/signify-support>.

### What is the advantage of Sign with Singpass signatures?

Sign with Singpass signatures are recognised as [Secure Electronic Signatures](https://api.singpass.gov.sg/library/sign/business/introduction) under the Electronic Transactions Act. This means that the signature may benefit from certain legal presumptions that (a) the secure electronic signature is the signature of the person to whom it correlates; and (b) the secure electronic signature was affixed by that person with the intention of signing or approving the electronic record (refer to the [Electronic Transactions Act](https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/ETA2010?ProvIds=P13-#pr19-)).

As we are unable to provide legal advice, please consult your agency legal department for legal advice on Secure Electronic Signatures and the Electronic Transactions Act.

### Can the signatory contact the document owner?

Yes. When the owner sends the link to them, there is an email address included in the email.

### Can I use without Singpass app?

Currently no as it is required for Sign with Singpass to get secure electronic signatures.

### Is Corppass signing supported?

Unfortunately no as there are no Corppass certificates available yet. The individual can still represent the organisation to sign. You could consider adding a line on the document itself which says Company Representative under the signature.

### Where is the data hosted?

The data is hosted in Singapore.
