Important Notice to All TradeTrust Ready Partners

GovTech has announced the sunsetting of OpenAttestation (OA). As support for OA concludes, we strongly encourage all partners to upgrade to TrustVC before 15th May 2026, our enhanced framework built on the W3C Verifiable Credentials (VC) standard. This update will help safeguard your verification processes and ensure continued alignment with the latest industry requirements.

Moving Forward: Ensuring your Document Continuity

To ensure your operations remain uninterrupted, we have built a continuity bridge into our latest TrustVC release. This integration is designed specifically to protect your existing business documents, securing the long-term validity of your documents and preventing any potential service gaps following the OA sunset.

Action Steps to Continuity:

For Existing Platform Providers on TrustVC:

• Simply update to the latest TrustVC (Release V2.12.1 and above) and start issuing in W3C format.

• Ensure that your verifier is also using the latest TrustVC (Release V2.12.1 and above).

• Do the above before 15 May 2026.

For platforms that are still not on TrustVC, here are the migration guides:

• Migrate from OA to TrustVC

• General TradeTrust Migration Guide

If your organization is currently utilizing OpenAttestation v3 (OA3) for document issuance or verification, we want to hear from you!

Please contact us at tradetrust@imda.gov.sg by 15 May 2026 to let us know if you are an OA3 user. This will allow our technical team to guide and support you during your migration to TrustVC, such as assessing your current integration and providing the technical resources needed for a smooth transition.

Thank you for your commitment to driving the digitalisation of global trade. We look forward to supporting you through this process.
