The Bahamas register of directors and officers is a statutory document mandated by the International Business Companies Act, 2000 (Chapter 309). This register records comprehensive information about all directors and officers who have served your company, including names, addresses, appointment dates, and cessation records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions about the Bahamas register of directors and officers
The company itself maintains the register at its registered office. In practice, this is typically handled by the service provider managing the registered office. Unlike purely private registers, Bahamas law requires this register to be filed with the Companies Registry within 12 months of incorporation and within 12 months of any subsequent changes to directors or officers.
The register includes for each director and officer: full legal name, any former names used, residential address (or registered office for corporate appointees), nationality and occupation, date and place of birth for individuals, appointment date, cessation date if applicable, and position held (director, president, secretary, treasurer, or other officer). Corporate directors and officers include registration jurisdiction and number.
No. Although the register is filed with the Bahamas Companies Registry, it is not publicly accessible. The filing requirement creates an official government record for regulatory purposes, but public access is not permitted. Only the company's stakeholders and properly authorized representatives can obtain copies.
The register is commonly required for bank account opening procedures, due diligence reviews in mergers and acquisitions, compliance with regulatory requirements in foreign jurisdictions, verification of corporate governance structures, demonstrating proper recordkeeping to auditors or regulators, and legal proceedings involving the company. Banks and financial institutions frequently request this during onboarding.
Directors are members of the board who oversee the company's strategic direction and major decisions. Officers are individuals appointed to manage day-to-day operations, such as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. The same person can serve in both capacities. The Bahamas register records both categories in a single document.
Standard retrieval takes 3-5 business days. We coordinate with the registered office to obtain the current register, arrange for certification if needed, and deliver the document to you via secure PDF delivery or physical courier as requested.
For companies administered by Expanship, retrieval is FREE as part of your standard service package. For companies not managed by Expanship, our service fee is US$199, covering full coordination with the registered office, obtaining the register, certification, document scanning, and secure digital delivery. Additional services include Apostille (US$249), Notary certification (US$149), and international physical courier (US$169).
Changes to the register of directors and officers must be filed with the Bahamas Companies Registry within 12 months of occurrence. This includes initial filing upon incorporation, and subsequent filings whenever directors or officers are appointed, resign, or change. Regular updates ensure compliance with Bahamas statutory requirements.
Failing to maintain an accurate register or file updates with the Registry within the required 12-month period can result in non-compliance status, potential penalties, difficulty with banking relationships, problems with due diligence reviews, and challenges in demonstrating good standing. Maintaining current records is a fundamental corporate obligation.
