UEN: A Unique Entity Number (UEN) is an identification number that is generated for a business entity, following successful incorporation/registration with ACRA. All business entities need to use the UEN when transacting with government agencies. This UEN is issued free of charge to business entities.
Special UEN (SUN): Entity owners can choose, at a fee, a preferred UEN from a list of reserved UENs during entity incorporation / registration or conversion. This preferred UEN is known as Special UEN (SUN).
Free UEN: Those who do not wish to apply for a SUN will continue to be issued with a free system-generated UEN. SUN enables entity owners to more easily identify with and remember their own UEN when transacting with government agencies.
