About this service
Appointing or removing directors, and updating shareholders
Changes to directors, company secretaries or shareholders need to be approved properly and lodged with ACRA. Appointments and resignations of officers are generally filed within 14 days.
Each company must keep at least one resident director at all times, so a resignation may need a replacement appointed at the same time.

Questions
Director & Shareholder Changes: common questions.
Can a director resign at any time?
Yes, but the company must still have at least one resident director afterwards.
Who can be a director?
Any individual aged 18 or above with full legal capacity who is not disqualified. At least one director must be ordinarily resident in Singapore.
Is a shareholder change the same as a director change?
No. Shareholders own the company and directors manage it. The same person can be both, but the changes are filed separately.
