    Accepted IDs are National IDs or Passports. The picture must be clear and in colour. Driving licenses are not accepted. Kindly submit your passport/ID in .jpg, .jpeg, or .png format. 
   
   If you do not have a national ID or Passport, you may submit a picture of your Social Security card. 
4. **Proof of address of User**

#### Can Singaporean charities and non-governmental organisations open an Aspire account?

You can register an Aspire account as long as you're registered by ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority in Singapore) under these entities:

- Public company limited by guarantee
- Society

Please note that you can only open an SGD Account that can only be used for operational purposes (e.g. pay salaries etc.) and not to facilitate any donations to the charities.
