Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) is the National Internet Registry for Singapore. It manages the .sg top level domain.

Formed in October 1995, the SGNIC took over the operation of Domain Name Registration (DNR) Services in November 1995. It operated under the National Computer Board until July 1997 when SGNIC was registered as a company.

The organisation of SGNIC comprises four entities:

  • SGNIC Board
  • SGNIC Operations

The SGNIC Board formulates policies for SGNIC and comprises representatives from regulatory and commercial agencies in Singapore.
