Global Location Number (GLN) Registered User

All e-business transactions in Singapore for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) need to have a GLN for party identification. A GLN is a 13-digit non-significant reference number used in electronic communications to identify organisations and their physical locations. 

For distributors who are getting their goods from their suppliers already printed with EAN Barcode symbols, will still need a GLN for the purpose of company identification to conduct e-business transactions between their companies and the retail chains. 

The entrance and annual subscription fees are based on the company's annual turnover. All companies applying for GLN Registered User must complete the GIRO application form for GS1 Singapore annual subscription fees. A copy of the inter-bank GIRO application form can be downloaded here. 

* Deposit will be refunded upon official resignation as a GLN Registered User. 

For a company which is already a GS1 Singapore Registered User, the GLN is issued to the company free-of-charge.  For more information, please click here for more details.
