# Getting Started

## Prerequisites for access

1. **NRIC/FIN Holder**
   * You must possess a valid NRIC/FIN.
2. **Singpass Account**
   * You must have an active Singpass account.
   * If you do not have a valid Singpass account, refer to this [FAQ](https://ask.gov.sg/singpass/questions/clul27aq60028yisxifw2l2w3?from=quicklinks) for guidance on registration.
3. **Corppass Account and Authorisation**
   * You must hold an active Corppass account with your organisation. If you do not, get your Corppass Admin to create an account for you.
     * For Corppass Admins and Sub-Admins, please refer to this FAQ for guidance on [how to create a Corppass account](https://ask.gov.sg/corppass/questions/cm1q0y3r4006xwdnwn8nr7kk2?from=search) for other users.
   * You must also be authorised to access the "Corppass Developer Portal" digital service.

### Locating Your Corppass Admin

If you are unsure who your Corppass Admin is, refer to this [FAQ on Finding Your Corppass Admin](https://ask.gov.sg/corppass/questions/cm1q0y3r00053wdnwc1hjxu0j?from=search) for assistance.

***

### If you already have "Default Access to all Digital Services"

* You will automatically have access to CDP if your Corppass account has previously been configured with '*Default access to all digital services'*. ([how to check](https://ask.gov.sg/corppass/questions/cm6ryazs90071aqz9wufc39qe))
* Please note however, that your default role on CDP will be **'Read-Only User'** in this case. Learn more about [roles in CDP](/docs/singpass-developer-docs/corppass-and-myinfo-business/corppass-developer-portal-cdp/user-guide/portal-features/user-roles-and-permissions.md) and their respective permissions.
* If you need a higher access level, you will need your entity's Corppass Admin / Sub-Admin to authorise you for CDP and change the role assignment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.developer.singpass.gov.sg/docs/singpass-developer-docs/corppass-and-myinfo-business/corppass-developer-portal-cdp/user-guide/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
