ACRA to restore search function next week but will not show NRIC numbers

The government are currently looking into alternative methods to make it simpler for users to locate the correct person or piece of data.

For instance, a man might search for a second title in combination with a company name to get the desired results. &nbsp,

But, a search may return more results with their first name if they only had a first name. &nbsp,

In such a case, a man would have to do a “level two research” to get the whole information, said Ms Indranee. This may require a consumer purchasing the people account, which would include the animal’s NRIC number. &nbsp,

Another reporter then inquired about how quickly someone using the Bizfile portal’s search function could find an alternative solution. &nbsp,

Mrs. Chia-Tern responded that ACRA does take time to consider the needs of the community while considering its problems. &nbsp,

” We need to strike a balance, and we will have time to consider everything before deciding what should happen future.” We will consider all these factors quite carefully”, she said. &nbsp,

Ms. Indranee once more stressed that a user can use more information to get the right search result, even though the NRIC number won’t show up. &nbsp,

” For those who are actually using the search function, (you ) should try to see whether you have any other information as much as possible”, she said.
