CSN Setup

CSN = CPF Submission Number

Since 1 January 2009, all entities registered in Singapore can transact with government agencies using their Unique Entity Numbers (UEN). The UEN is like the NRIC number of the entity for identification purposes.

To transact with CPF Board, employers will use the CPF Submission Number (CSN), which comprises the 'UEN + CPF Payment Code'. The CSN also identifies the types of payments that emloyers are making to the board.

For employers who are hiring local employees eg. personal driver, gardener, local domestic worker etc., the CSN is the "NRIC/FIN + CPF Payment Code".
For individuals who are hiring foreign domestic workers or the self-employed, the CSN is the NRIC/FIN.

A company can have multiple CSN numbers. To add a CSN number, click on 'Add New CSN Details'. Enter the CSN number and click on Update button. Once the CSN number is created, it will be available in the employee profile.
