Getting Authenticated on Exporters.SG - What It Means and How to Apply

What Is Exporters.SG Authentication?

Authentication is an independent, third-party verification service for Exporters Plus and Exporters Premium members. It confirms two facts:

  1. Legal registration — your business is officially registered in its country of operation.
  2. Contact authority — the person managing the Exporters.SG account is employed by or formally associated with that registered business.

This verification is performed by an independent third party, not by Exporters.SG directly, giving it credibility as an objective check.

Why Does Authentication Matter for Sellers?

  • Buyers are far more likely to trust and contact sellers with an authenticated profile.
  • Authentication is the most powerful component of your Rating.
  • It signals long-term business intent and reduces perceived counterparty risk.
  • In the event of a dispute, the verified legal registration provides a traceable identity.

How to Get Authenticated

  1. Upgrade to Exporters Plus and Exporters Premium.
  2. Initiate the authentication process from your account dashboard.
  3. Submit required documentation (typically business registration certificate and proof of employment/association).
  4. Once verified, an authentication badge appears on your profile and your Rating improves immediately.
