An authentic court order (ACO) is a court order verified to have been issued by a Singapore court.

Previously, parties that need to show their court order to others may be asked to provide a certified true copy ("CTC"). They have to apply for the CTC and this can take several days and require more than one trip to the court. A fee needs to be paid for every hardcopy CTC. The hardcopy CTC may also be inadvertently misplaced, or the party may not have sufficient CTCs and may need to obtain additional CTCs.

The ACO system simplifies this.
