Can Registered Societies Use a Virtual Office in Singapore?

Updated at: May 30, 2025

If you're starting or managing a society in Singapore, one of the key requirements from the Registry of Societies (ROS) is to provide a valid registered address. A question we frequently get at VOffice Singapore is:

Can I use a virtual office as the registered address for my society?

The Answer: Yes.

According to the official ROS guidelines, a virtual office address can be used as the registered address of a society in Singapore.

The registered address of a society can be a physical location or virtual office. The Registry of Societies will send all correspondences to your society’s registered address. Societies should ensure that any changes to their registered address are updated with the Registry of Societies.

PO Box
Undeveloped sites, e.g. Mukim Lot 8
Mobile premises e.g. containers
Unofficial addresses e.g. rooftops, void decks
Public places e.g. hawker stalls/ stores
