It used to be mandatory to put up signboards outside your main door. HDB removed this requirement just few years back.

Hi Mary Pereira,

I suggest you check with HDB whether a legal practice can be conducted from a home office. Since you’re renting the place, you would probably need your landlord’s approval too.

I believe that signboards are not allowed at all, so I’m not sure where you got that information.

Good luck.

Regards,
Gwen

I an renting the unit at Blk 25 Owen Road Singapore 210025. I have been unemployed since February 2009.

I hold a Practising Certificate and would like to use my own premises as the registered office address for my Law Firm.

I do not have the means to pay rent for office premisis.

This unit was long long ago allowed by the authorities to use it a a business premises for my mother, who was running her own tailoring business in the 1960s. She was allowed to put up a signboard for that also.

I seek to know how I could do also be allowed to have my rented premises serve as the registered address for my Firm.
