Aircraft/helicopters do not need to be operated in Singapore's airspace to be registered in Singapore. However, the aircraft/helicopter must be registered with an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Contracting State and have a valid Certificate of Airworthiness.

The list of Singapore-registered (civil) aircraft and their operators, which is updated on a monthly basis, can be found here.Note: Civil aircraft refer to non-military aircraft.

An applicant registering an aircraft in Singapore must satisfy the eligibility criteria stated in the Air Navigation Order (ANO) paragraph 4, which states that:

1) Any previous registration of the aircraft outside Singapore shall cease upon the aircraft being registered in Singapore.

2) The owner of the aircraft belongs to one of the following categories:

• a. the Singapore Government;

• b. citizens of Singapore;

• c. citizens of any Commonwealth country; and

• d. bodies incorporated in Singapore or in some part of the Commonwealth and having their principal place of business in some part of the Commonwealth.

The cost to register an aircraft can be found in the ANO 12th Schedule paragraph 1, which states the registration fee to be $55 for aircraft with maximum total weight not exceeding 3,000 kg. For aircraft exceeding 3,000 kg, a flat fee of $55 plus $6.60 per 1,000 kg or part thereof in excess of 3,000 kg applies.Applications shall be made on Form CAAS(AW) 39 accompanied by particulars and evidence relating to the aircraft and its ownership and submitted to:Civil Aviation Authority of SingaporeFlight Standards DivisionSingapore Changi AirportP O Box 1Singapore 918141
