Small Claims Tribunals: How to File a Claim? You can submit a claim online through the Community Justice and Tribunals System (CJTS). Besides filing a claim, the online portal also allows you to submit supporting documents and track case developments.

Whether you’re a tenant or landlord, you’ll need your SingPass to log into the portal and file a claim with the SCT.

Documents required

Supporting documents that back up your claim (eg. receipts, invoices, contracts)

Memorandum of Consent, if any (for claims exceeding $20,000 but below $30,000)

Translations (if documents are not in the English Language)

Letter of Authorisation

Letter of Authorisation (Only for business entitles)

Step-by-step Guide to Filing a Claim

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to file a claim through the portal:

Step 1: Visit http://www.statecourts.gov.sg/CJTS/

Step 2: Log in using your SingPass (for individuals) or CorpPass (for business entities). If you don't have SingPass or CorpPass, you can register for a CJTS Pass.

Step 3: Update “My Profile” with your personal particulars.

Step 4: Click “Online applications”, and then “Claim Form”.

Step 5: Input your Pre-filing ID or do a pre-filing assessment to get a Pre-filing ID.

Step 6: Answer all questions in the pre-filing assessment, and click “Submit”.

Step 7: Fill up the claim form, including the claimant’s and respondent’s particulars and upload the supporting documents. Click “Submit”, then “Confirm to Proceed”.

Step 8: Pay the filing fees. Applications will only be processed after payments have been made.

Step 9: Select a consultation date and time.

Step 10: Click “Save respondent’s notice”. Print the Notice of Consultation and the Claim to serve it to the respondent.

You can pay the filing fees by the following methods:

Credit card/internet banking (coming soon)

Pay at the State Courts: Choose “pay later” to generate payment advice. Bring the payment advice to the Finance Section on the 1st floor of State Courts and pay at the finance counter or Automated Collection System Machine there

Please also note that as the claimant, you’ll be responsible for serving the other party (respondent) a hard copy of the claim and the Notice of Consultation. This is to let him know about the court proceedings against him, and that he needs to attend the sessions at the SCT at a specified date and time.
