Frequently Asked Questions
Essential questions about your Belize Register of Beneficial Owners
An individual is a beneficial owner if they own or control 25% or more of your company's shares, voting rights, or economic interests, whether held directly or indirectly through layers of corporate ownership. Beneficial ownership also applies to individuals who exercise significant control or influence, including the power to appoint or remove key officers or directors. Companies must identify the ultimate natural persons—corporate intermediaries must be traced to individual humans.
Access is limited to authorized individuals including company directors, officers, and persons holding specific written authorization from the company. The Register of Beneficial Owners is confidential and not publicly available. It is filed through the Online Business Registry System (OBRS) with the Registrar, accessible only to authorized company representatives and Belize regulatory authorities for compliance oversight.
No, beneficial ownership information remains private in Belize. The register is filed through the OBRS with the Registrar but is not open to public inspection. Only authorized company personnel and Belize government agencies conducting regulatory enforcement or anti-money laundering investigations can access this confidential information.
The register records each beneficial owner's full legal name, complete birth date, nationality or citizenship, full residential address, the nature of their beneficial interest (ownership type or control mechanism), the percentage or scope of their ownership, and the dates they acquired or lost beneficial owner status. Together, these details provide comprehensive documentation of ultimate ownership and control structures.
The Register of Beneficial Owners is commonly needed when establishing corporate bank accounts, during corporate transactions and acquisitions, for regulatory compliance audits, in legal or court proceedings, or when financial institutions, auditors, or legal advisors require verification of ultimate beneficial ownership. Banks particularly require certified copies during account opening and ongoing due diligence reviews.
Standard processing takes 3-5 business days from request to delivery. We work directly with your Registered Agent to obtain the current register, arrange professional certification if required, and deliver it to you securely through encrypted digital transmission or international courier.
The register is maintained by your company's Registered Agent in Belize, who files beneficial ownership information through the Online Business Registry System (OBRS) with the Registrar. The Registered Agent must keep the register current and update it promptly whenever beneficial ownership changes occur.
Legal shareholders are the persons or entities officially recorded on the Register of Members as holding company shares. Beneficial owners are the ultimate individual persons who truly own or control those shares, whether held in their own names or through nominees, corporate vehicles, trusts, or complex ownership structures. Identifying beneficial owners reveals the actual people who economically benefit from and control the business, essential for regulatory compliance and transparency.
Our service fee encompasses coordination with your Registered Agent, retrieval and compilation of the register, certification by authorized officials, secure delivery through your preferred channel, and comprehensive documentation support.
