Certified True Copies (CTCs) will still be available upon application.

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 introduction of the ACO system is intended to simply this and to reduce the need for CTC hardcopies.

If your court order is included in the ACO system:

• Special information (such as a QR code and access code) will be printed on the court order.

• You can show a photocopy, email, fax or a screenshot of the ACO to the organisation that requires it. The organisation can also retrieve a validated copy of the court order directly from the ACO website. This service is free of charge.

If you encounter an organisation who does not accept the ACO and/or insists on a physical CTC copy of the Court Order, please write to us at https://go.gov.sg/writetosgcourts.
