Is a nominee director legal in Singapore?

Yes. Appointing a nominee director is legal and common, and the arrangement is recognised and regulated by ACRA. Since the Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 came into force in June 2025, anyone acting as a nominee director by way of business must be appointed through a registered corporate service provider, and the nominee status must be recorded in the company register and filed with ACRA's central Registers of Nominee Directors.
