Right now, every file is an email chain and a spreadsheet.
You send the document list. One director replies with two attachments and a question. The shareholder’s NRIC arrives a week later in a different thread. Somewhere in a tab is the tracker you update by hand. Multiply that across thirty open files and the chase becomes the job.
One company, four countries
Two directors in Singapore, a shareholder in Jakarta and a corporate shareholder whose signatory answers from Sydney, a day late.
The pack comes back unusable
An NRIC photographed at an angle with the number cut off, and a utility bill from eleven months ago. You find out when you sit down to prepare the file.
Five people to chase for one incorporation
Every director, every shareholder, every beneficial owner — and none of them can see what the others have already sent you.
Director IDs and ownership records, sitting in a mailbox
Passports, NRICs, residential addresses and beneficial ownership declarations, in an inbox with no retention policy and no access log.
So a corp sec executive spends the morning writing follow-ups instead of preparing files. Scans get renamed and re-filed by hand. The same reminder goes out for the third time. And with the incorporation date agreed, you still cannot answer the question the client keeps asking: is this file ready to lodge?
A missing document is not a late email. It is an incorporation date that moves, a deadline you explain rather than meet, and a client wondering what they are paying the retainer for.
You collect in three waves, from three different people.
Generic document tools assume one request with one deadline. An incorporation does not work that way — the personal pack, the corporate shareholder’s pack and the ownership pack move at different speeds and sit with different people, so ChaseDocs lets each be its own request against the same file.
Incorporation and onboarding
Director and shareholder passports or NRIC, proof of residential address, consent to act for each proposed director, the proposed company name and the shareholding structure.
The corporate shareholder’s side
Certificate of incorporation, constitution, register extracts, the board resolution appointing the nominee or signatory, and that signatory’s own identity document.
The wave that stalls, because it sits inside another company — often in another country.
Ownership and the annual refresh
Beneficial ownership declarations for the register of registrable controllers, the annual KYC refresh pack for existing clients, and address proof re-dated because last year’s no longer counts.
The regime you already work inside
Singapore, stated as fact — not as a reason to buy anything.
- The Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 (No. 22 of 2024) came into operation on 9 June 2025, together with the Corporate Service Providers Regulations 2025.
- It replaced the Registered Filing Agent regime. Existing RFA registrations were converted automatically on that date — there was no re-registration to sit through.
- A person carrying on a business in Singapore of providing a corporate service must be a registered corporate service provider for that type of service, rather than only firms transacting with ACRA as under the old regime. Exemptions apply.
- Registered CSPs must perform customer due diligence before providing a corporate service, and Part 4 of the Regulations sets out the AML/CFT/PF duties around it — risk assessment, identifying and verifying customers and beneficial owners, screening, ongoing monitoring, and five-year record retention.
- Where a customer is not physically present for identification, additional documents, data or information are required to establish identity. For remote incorporations and shelf-company transfers a live video call is also required — with a proposed non-nominee director, a proposed member holding at least 50% of the voting rights, or that member’s authorised representative — with proper records kept. ACRA does not mandate recording the call, but a screenshot must be taken and retained. The call requirement does not apply where the customer is represented by an advocate and solicitor or a public accountant.
Worth separating, because they landed a week apart: the register of registrable controllers and the central registers of nominee directors and nominee shareholders come from the Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2024, in force 16 June 2025 — a different statute from the CSP Act, with its own obligations.
ChaseDocs does not make anyone compliant, and it does not screen anyone. It does not make, hold or record the video call. It collects the documents and checks that what arrived is the right document, readable and complete. Your customer due diligence, your risk assessment, your records and your filings stay yours.
The statements above were read from ACRA’s own legislation page and the Act and Regulations it links, on 19 August 2026. Regulation changes — check the current text before you rely on it, and take your own advice rather than ours.
Every passport, checked against the filing date.
Put the incorporation target date, the filing deadline or the refresh date on the request. From then on, every passport uploaded against it is read and measured — automatically, on upload, before anyone on your team opens the file.
A passport that expires inside six months of that date is flagged with the reason attached, so the renewal starts while there is still runway instead of surfacing the week you meant to lodge. To be exact about what this is: it is our own hygiene rule, not an ACRA requirement and not a regulatory threshold. Six months past the date you set is how it ships, with nothing to configure — and a document that carries no expiry date at all, like a Singapore NRIC, simply comes back with no validity verdict rather than a false pass.

Expires less than 6 months after the incorporation date (2026-11-12) — valid through 2027-05-12 is required.
Every director and shareholder gets their own link.
A checklist belongs to one person, so each director, each shareholder and the corporate shareholder’s signatory gets their own. Put them all on the same file as a group and you track them on one row — one screen that tells you who you are actually waiting on, instead of five threads that each know a fifth of the answer.
That separation is worth having rather than working around. On a file with unrelated shareholders, one director seeing another’s NRIC and home address is the wrong default, and here it simply cannot happen. The same mechanism runs a batch — an annual KYC refresh across sixty existing clients is sixty links sent in one action. It is on every plan, including Solo, because it is the job, not an upgrade.

We never keep your clients’ documents.
They land in your own Google Drive™. Most document tools are the vault — that is their business model, so they will never tell you to keep the files yourself. That difference matters more for a firm holding director identity documents, residential addresses and beneficial ownership records under PDPA than it does almost anywhere else.
Uploads land in your cloud
Connect Google Drive and documents route straight into the client folder your team already works from. The file of record is always yours.
We keep a pointer, not the file
ChaseDocs stores the checklist, the verdict and a reference — so if we were ever breached, there is no NRIC, no residential address and no ownership declaration here to take.
The AI copy is transient
One encrypted copy is used for the check, then deleted the moment it finishes. Nothing from inside a document is ever stored or logged.
Built for privacy law
Per-person access tokens, an audit log on Firm, and a timestamped record that you confirmed permission to contact each director before the first message went out. It does not satisfy any regulatory requirement for you — it gives you the record.
Live before your next incorporation.
Three steps. No accounts for your directors, no portal logins for shareholders, no documents buried in a thread.
- 01
Start from the incorporation checklist that ships with it
Open the Company incorporation starter — director’s passport or ID, proof of registered address, proposed company name, shareholding structure — or Client onboarding / KYC for a refresh. Edit it into your own intake and save it. Three things are not in the box and you add them once: the beneficial ownership declaration, consent to act, and the corporate shareholder’s incorporation documents.
- 02
Send one link per person
Each director, each shareholder and the corporate shareholder’s signatory gets their own link over WhatsApp or email. No account, no password, no portal login for someone who will interact with you twice a year.
- 03
Let the reminders do the chasing
Follow-ups go out on schedule and stop the moment the document lands. You watch one screen instead of reading back through five threads to work out who is holding the file up.
Priced per firm, not per company.
Based on how many people you are collecting from at once — counted per person, so an incorporation with two directors and two shareholders counts as four. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Common questions about collecting corporate secretarial documents.
What is ChaseDocs for a corporate secretarial firm?
ChaseDocs is a document-collection tool for corporate secretarial firms and corporate service providers. You build the checklist once, send each director and shareholder their own no-login link over WhatsApp or email, and automated reminders chase them until it is done. AI checks every upload — right document, readable, complete, and whether the passport is still valid past the date you are filing against — and the documents land in your own cloud storage, not ours.
Does it file with ACRA, or replace my corp sec software?
No to both. ChaseDocs submits nothing to any registry — there is no BizFile+ integration, no e-filing, and there will not be at this scope. It also does not manage registers, generate resolutions, track statutory deadlines or produce filings, so it sits alongside your practice system rather than replacing it. It does the one part those systems leave to email: getting the documents in, complete and legible, before you start preparing anything. The only integration is storage, which is where the uploads land.
Does it do CDD, AML screening, or verify anyone’s identity?
No, and this is the most important thing to know before you trial it. There is no sanctions, PEP or adverse-media screening, no biometric or liveness check, no identity-verification vendor behind it, and no lookup against any register. The AI reads a document and tells you whether it is the right document, whether it is readable, whether anything is missing, and whether it is still valid against your date. It does not attest that the person is who they say they are, and it does not perform any part of your customer due diligence. If you are shopping for a CDD or screening platform, ChaseDocs is not one — it is the layer that gets the documents to you so you can do that work.
Does it help with the Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 obligations?
It helps with the document-collection part of your work, and nothing beyond it. ChaseDocs sends the request, chases it, checks what arrived, and keeps a timestamped record of who was asked for what and when each document landed — with the files themselves in your own cloud rather than ours. Everything the regime actually asks of you stays yours: your customer due diligence, your screening, your risk assessment, your record-keeping, the live video call where one is required, and every filing. Nothing here makes anyone compliant, and we would rather say so plainly than let you find out later. The facts about the Act on this page were read from ACRA’s own materials, with the date we read them attached.
Does ChaseDocs check passport validity against my filing date?
Yes. Put the incorporation target date, the filing deadline or the refresh date on the request as its start date, and every passport uploaded against it is checked to still be valid at least six months past that date. One thing to be clear about: this is our own hygiene rule, not an ACRA requirement and not a regulatory threshold of any kind. It exists because a thin passport creates work you did not quote for. Six months past the date you set is the rule out of the box, with nothing to configure. A document that carries no expiry date at all — a Singapore NRIC, typically — simply comes back with no validity verdict, rather than a false pass.
Can I collect from every director and shareholder separately?
Yes, and you should — a checklist belongs to exactly one contact. Each director, each shareholder and the corporate shareholder’s signatory gets their own, and you put them all on the same file as a group so you track them together on one row. That separation is worth having rather than working around: one director never sees another director’s NRIC or residential address, which on a file with unrelated shareholders is the correct default rather than an inconvenience. The same mechanism runs a batch — an annual KYC refresh across sixty existing clients is sixty links sent in one action, and it is on every plan including Solo.
Can I run the annual KYC refresh with it?
Yes — save your refresh pack as a template, add the clients as a group, and every one of them gets their own checklist and link in a single action. One honest limitation: there is no recurring scheduler. Reminders after a send are automatic, but nothing re-issues the refresh next year on its own; starting the next cycle is a deliberate action you take, made about as light as it can be by a saved template plus a group.
What file types and sizes can people upload?
PDFs, images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC), Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, up to 25 MB per file and up to 20 files against any one item. One boundary worth knowing in this vertical specifically: full AI verdicts come back on PDFs and on JPEG, PNG and WebP images. Word files, Excel spreadsheets and HEIC photos are accepted and stored, but flagged for a human to read rather than checked — and a director photographing their NRIC on an iPhone sends HEIC by default, so that upload gets through without a verdict.
What happens when a document is unusable?
You reject the item with a note saying what to fix — the number is cut off, the bill is out of date, it is the wrong page. When you have finished reviewing, one message goes out naming everything you sent back and carrying your note; there is one notice per review, not one per item, and nothing is sent when you accept. The item goes back on their list, the upload stays open so they can replace it, and it keeps counting as outstanding so the scheduled reminders keep chasing it. Accepting locks the item, so a document you have already cleared cannot quietly change before you prepare the file.
Where do the documents end up?
In your own cloud storage. Connect Google Drive and uploads route straight there, into the client folder your team already works from — ChaseDocs keeps the checklist, the verdict and a pointer to the file, never the document itself. A single encrypted copy is used for the AI check and deleted the moment it finishes. For a firm holding director identity documents and beneficial ownership records, that difference is the whole argument: your subprocessor does not hold your clients’ NRICs. If you would rather not connect storage on day one, a short-retention encrypted bucket is the zero-config fallback.
Is this compliant with PDPA?
Passports, NRICs, residential addresses and beneficial ownership records are regulated personal data almost everywhere — PDPA in Singapore and Malaysia, GDPR in Europe, and equivalent laws elsewhere. ChaseDocs is built for that: files stay in your own cloud, every request uses a per-person access token, actions are recorded in an audit log you can view on the Firm plan, and you confirm you have permission to contact each person before the first message goes out, recorded with a timestamp. None of that satisfies an obligation on your behalf. Compliance is yours to own; this gives you the record to show for it.
What does it cost?
Plans start at $29/month, billed in USD by card, with a 7-day free trial and no card required. Pricing is per firm, based on how many people you are collecting from at once — not per company and not per document. Counting is per person, so an incorporation with two directors and two shareholders counts as four.
