Businesses in the advertising and marketing sectors will soon benefit from a faster approval process when applying for licences to display outdoor advertisements.

Around 60 per cent of all outdoor advertising licence applicants - about 2,000 per year — can expect to obtain a licence to display signs for shopfronts, commercial buildings and business premises in residential and industrial areas almost immediately after completing their applications, Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat said on Jan 2.
This will save them up to seven days of waiting time compared with the current process, Mr Chee said. He was speaking at the 2025 Singapore Prestige Brand Award presentation ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.
