Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) announces the establishment of a Registry for all arbitral awards and an authentication service for the arbitration community. All users of Singapore arbitration can now lodge their awards with the SIAC and apply to the Registrar to have it authenticated or certified when they seek to enforce it extra-territorially. A party seeking to enforce an arbitral award under the New York Convention is required by a foreign court to produce an authenticated original award or a duly certified copy.

The Registry will be a closed registry and confidentiality will be strictly upheld.
