MUIS to launch digital halal certificates

It will feature QR codes.

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) will introduce digital halal certificates for all halal-certified establishments from 1 October 2025.

The move was announced at the Singapore Halal International Seminar on 24 September 2025, alongside a new, enhanced framework for Foreign Halal Certification Bodies (FHCBs).

The initiatives aim to boost transparency, strengthen consumer trust, and support the growth of Singapore’s halal industry.

Under the enhanced FHCB framework, MUIS will implement stricter assessment criteria, risk-based monitoring, and regular reviews to ensure imported halal products meet Singapore’s standards.

The process will be digital, transparent, and backed by strengthened regulatory powers under the Administration of Muslim Law Act (AMLA).

The new digital halal certificates will feature QR codes, allowing consumers to instantly verify the validity of certifications via their mobile devices.

MUIS said the update will improve transparency, streamline processes, and help Singapore’s halal industry adapt to the digital economy.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
