Find out when and how to send in a request for de-listing or unfreezing:

UN-Listed Individuals and Entities Seeking De-listing

Individuals and entities may request for de-listing if they have been listed by the United Nations (UN) Security Council (other than those listed in the UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) 1267/1989 and 1988) but do not or no longer meet the criteria for designation.

They can do so by sending the request for de-listing directly to the UN Focal Point .

Alternatively, Singapore citizens and Singapore-incorporated entities may choose to send the request to MAS via https://www.mas.gov.sg/contact-us .

Upon successful de-listing by the relevant UN Security Council Committee, the prohibition and freezing provisions in the relevant Financial Services and Markets Regulations and UN Regulations will no longer apply to the individual or entity.

Individuals and Entities Seeking Unfreezing

In exceptional cases, individuals and entities not listed by the UN Security Council as designated individuals or entities may be inadvertently affected by the prohibition and freezing provisions in the relevant Financial Services and Markets Regulations and UN Regulations. For example, an individual or entity could have a name similar to that of a designated individual or entity. 

Affected parties may contact MAS via https://www.mas.gov.sg/contact-us  to request for assistance. The request should include information and supporting documents demonstrating that they are not a designated individual or entity.

Upon verification, the relevant authorities will work with the affected parties to resolve the issue.
