Create the ZIP file for submission
The ZIP file contains your sidecar CSV and the documents you want to issue.
Before you begin
You need:
- A completed sidecar CSV.
- All documents referenced by the
filesfield. - Access to the FileSG Agency Portal.
Step 1 — Export your sidecar CSV
Export the Excel sidecar template to CSV.
For standard issuance, the CSV must be:
filesg-sidecar-transactions.csv
For UEN issuance:
filesg-sidecar-corporate-transactions.csv
Step 2 — Add the files to the ZIP
Place the sidecar CSV and all files being issued at the root of the ZIP.
Example:
filesg-sidecar-transactions.csv
certificate-001.pdf
certificate-002.pdfThe ZIP filename itself does not matter.
Common mistakes
Avoid:
- Using the Excel
.xlsxfile instead of the CSV. - Using the wrong sidecar filename.
- Putting files inside a subfolder.
- Including extra files or folders.
- Including hidden system files.
- Listing a filename in
filesthat does not exist in the ZIP.
