How to Obtain Your CPF Submission Number
Your CPF Submission Number (CSN) is the number you use to transact with CPF Board — for example, making CPF payments, paying foreign worker levies, SHG contributions, and making any request relating to employer matters.
For Businesses
The CSN comprises your Unique Entity Number (UEN) plus a CPF Payment Code:
UEN + CPF Payment Code = xxxxxxxxxx-PTE-01
For Individuals (Employers Trading Under Own Names)
- For employers hiring local employees such as a personal driver, gardener, or local domestic worker, the CSN comprises the NRIC / Foreign Identification Number (FIN) plus a CPF Payment Code.
- For individuals hiring foreign domestic workers, or individuals who are self-employed, the CSN is the individual's NRIC / FIN.
