Renew a Factory Registration

If your factory is under renewable registration or Major Hazard Installation (MHI) registration, you need to renew your Certificate of Registration (CR) or Certificate of MHI registration every 5 years.

From 1 December 2024, factory registration and notification services will be available on the new GoBusiness platform. To facilitate this transition, the current system will be unavailable from 28 to 30 November 2024. Please note:

  • If you have any draft applications or renewals, submit them before 28 November 2024.
  • Drafts which are not submitted before 28 November 2024 will not be moved over to the new system.
  • For more information, please refer to the FAQs.
