Reading the result
How to read a Singapore Peppol ID
Singapore Peppol IDs are UEN-based. IMDA materials illustrate the common naming convention below:
0195:SGUEN[UEN]This is a format illustration, not a valid business ID. Do not generate or assume a live Peppol ID from a UEN alone. Confirm the registered identifier in the directory or with the provider.
For a fuller explanation, see Peppol ID format, lookup and registration in Singapore.
No result?
A missing result needs follow-up—not an immediate conclusion.
Possible explanations
The business may not have completed onboarding, the listing may still be updating, or the search text may not match the registered company name or UEN.
Useful next check
Confirm the UEN, retry the official directory, and ask the business or its IRSP/AP to confirm the current registration and document capability.
Search modes
Simple search and bulk search serve different jobs.
| Mode | Best for | Input and result |
|---|---|---|
| Simple search | Checking one business or a small number of records | Search by company name or UEN and inspect the result online. |
| Bulk search | Checking a list of counterparties | Upload a CSV or Excel list of UENs and download matched company, Peppol ID and document information. |
Directory scope
SG Directory vs global Peppol Directory
The SG Peppol Directory is designed for Singapore participant discovery. The OpenPeppol Directory provides broader international discovery by company, endpoint, country and document capability. OpenPeppol notes that directory publication is not mandatory for every SMP provider, so not every registered receiver will necessarily appear in the global directory.

Turn the lookup into the right next action.
The business is listed
Verify which documents and workflows are supported, then confirm whether your finance system and provider route can send or receive them.
The business is not listed or not configured
Contact an InvoiceNow-Ready Solution Provider or accredited Access Point Provider to confirm onboarding and connection options.
Next planning step

Common questions
SG Peppol Directory FAQ
Is the SG Peppol Directory the same as InvoiceNow?
No. InvoiceNow is Singapore’s Peppol-based e-invoicing network. The SG Peppol Directory is a search facility for Singapore businesses registered on that network.
Can I search using a UEN?
Yes. IMDA states that simple search supports a company name or UEN. Bulk search accepts a list of UENs in a CSV or Excel file.
What if a business does not appear?
Check the spelling or UEN and ask the business or its provider to confirm status. A missing result can reflect onboarding status, input mismatch, or an update lag, so it should not be treated as conclusive proof.
How do I obtain a Peppol ID?
IRAS directs businesses to ask an InvoiceNow-Ready Solution Provider and/or accredited Access Point Provider to register the business in the SG Peppol Directory using its UEN.
