Instagram handle claims in Singapore

Short answer: living in Singapore does not open a separate route to a handle. It changes which documents you can offer, such as a mark on the IPOS register, an ACRA business record that matches the name, or evidence that a profile is posing as you. Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat each decide for themselves.

Evidence that suits a request from Singapore

For a request from Singapore the useful evidence is a mark on the IPOS register, an ACRA business record that matches the name, or evidence that a profile is posing as you. The preparation checklist lists the rest: the exact handle, the profile it is for, and what ties the name to you.

Never send a password or a login code. Nobody who needs one is working through an official route. See claim scams.

Starting with Instagram in Singapore

Singapore’s Trade Marks Act 1998 works on registration, so a mark registered with IPOS is the clearest paper for Instagram’s intellectual property form. An entry with ACRA shows a business exists under a name, but it is not a trade mark. Both are supporting evidence for a platform that decides each request itself.

The four official routes are set out in the routes guide and compared on the routes comparison.

Facts to cite

These are reference points, not legal advice. A platform’s decision on a handle follows its own policy.

The other two platforms in Singapore

In 2026 Singapore started its Online Safety Commission under the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act. When it opened, the first set of harms did not include impersonation, so check the Commission’s current list before relying on it. It deals with harm to people and is not a route to a handle. TikTok and Snapchat go through trademark and infringement forms.

Handle limits for both are on the TikTok rules and Snapchat rules pages.

The order of work

  1. You send the handle you want and the profile it is for, on WhatsApp or email, and say you are in Singapore.
  2. We look at whether an official route fits the facts and tell you if it looks workable.
  3. The price is agreed in chat before any work starts.
  4. The request is filed with each platform’s process. The platform makes the final decision, and a claim that fails is covered by the refund policy.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Does Singapore’s Online Safety Commission handle username claims?

No. It handles specified online harms to individuals under the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act. A handle claim goes through the platform’s own forms.

What do I send for a claim from Singapore?

The handle, the profile it is for and proof tied to the name, such as a mark on the IPOS register, an ACRA business record that matches the name, or evidence that a profile is posing as you. Never a password or a login code.

How do I start from Singapore?

Message us on WhatsApp or email with the handle and the profile it is for. Say you are in Singapore and what proof you hold. The price is agreed before work starts.

Which Instagram route fits a brand in Singapore?

If the handle matches a registered mark, the intellectual property report is the closest fit, and the register to cite is the one kept by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS). If a profile is posing as you, the impersonation report applies. A name that was once yours falls under the previous-username route. Instagram decides each request.
