Important information for Registration
Last updated 16 June 2026
Registration
It is an offence if you act or hold out to be a regulated dealer without being registered or exempted. You must be registered before you commence any regulated dealing.
Enforcement actions will be conducted to detect unregistered dealers. Any person who acts as or holds out to be a regulated dealer without being registered or exempted, may face criminal penalties of up to S$75,000 in fine and/or up to 3 years' imprisonment.
You may access the List of Registered Dealers here.
Who is Required to Register?
You are required to register with the Registrar of Regulated Dealers if you are a regulated dealer i.e. you carry on a business of regulated dealing in precious stones, precious metals and/or precious products ("PSPM"), or as an intermediary for regulated dealing in PSPMs.
Examples of regulated dealers who are required to register include, but are not limited to jewellers, bullion traders, jewellery wholesalers, jewellery retailers, secondhand goods dealers, auction houses, and trading platforms. Take this questionnaire to help you ascertain whether you are a regulated dealer.
Foreign dealers may refer here on the requirements to register.
Please refer to the PSPM Act for the official definitions. If you are not certain whether you are required to register, you may wish to seek legal advice.
Fees and Registering your Place(s) of Business
Regulated dealers must pay an application fee of S$120 to register with the Registrar. All payment must be made through GoBusiness Dashboard.
Registration is on an annual basis. Please see the Renewal page for information on renewal. If the Registrar provides in-principle approval for your application, you must pay a registration fee based on the registration tier and the number of outlets operated:
