Sample of Certificate of Incorporation (COI)

The sample COI illustrates the layout, key fields, and information typically included in an official document issued by ACRA. It shows the company name, registration number, date of incorporation, and company type, helping founders visualise the final official COI.

The sample is most helpful immediately after incorporation, when founders and freelancers want to understand the structure of their official COI and prepare for tasks such as opening a corporate bank account, submitting company details to partners, or organising their records.

No. The sample is for reference purposes only and cannot replace the official COI issued by ACRA. It is meant to guide founders on what to expect in terms of content and layout.

Founders, tech startups, and freelancers can use the sample to verify the information on their actual COI once received, prepare for administrative processes, and better understand the official document for internal record-keeping or submission to banks and service providers.
