vi) Change of company / business contact details.

Please note that for updates (i) to (iv), you are required to submit the online application to seek approval from the Registry before you proceed with the update/changes. Please update this information with ACRA only after receiving the approval from the Registry.

For changes relating to (v) and (vi), you are required to notify the Registry by submitting an online application.

A copy of the online application form for the above updates/changes [except for (iii)] is available here.

For updates to (iii), that is, for any change in substantial shareholdings or substantial shareholders of licensee, please write to the Registry via Contact Us @ OneMinLaw with the following information and supporting documents:

  1. A clear copy of an up-to-date identification card of the transferor and the transferee (if applicable).

  5. Reasons for the allotment of new shares/transfer in shares.

  6. The relationship between the transferor and the transferee.

  7. Whether the transferee will become a substantial shareholder of a licensee (through an increase in the person’s shareholding) after the transfer of shares.

  8. If the transferee is already a substantial shareholder of the licensee, whether his/her substantial shareholding will increase after the transfer of shares. Please state the increase in substantial shareholding after the transfer of shares.

If your reply to point 7 or 8 is “Yes”, please submit an application to the Registrar of Pawnbrokers to seek approval for:
