Search or Get Your BVI Register of Directors Effortlessly

The BVI register of directors is a statutory document required under the BVI Business Companies Act 2004. It lists all current and former directors of your British Virgin Islands company, including full legal names, residential addresses, appointment dates, and cessation dates. Your Registered Agent maintains this register and must file it with the BVI Registry.

Your company's Registered Agent maintains the BVI director register at the registered office. Since January 2025, they must also file a copy with the BVI Registry within 30 days of incorporation and within 30 days of any changes to the BVI company directors.

For individual directors: full legal name, former names, residential and service addresses, date and place of birth, appointment date, and cessation date. For corporate directors: company name, registration number, registered office, principal business address, and place of incorporation.

You typically need this document for banking KYC requirements, due diligence in transactions, regulatory compliance, legal proceedings, or any situation requiring proof of your current and former BVI company directors. Banks commonly request this for account opening.

Under the 2024 amendments effective January 2025, changes to your register of directors BVI must be filed with the Registry within 30 days of occurrence. This includes new director appointments, resignations, or any changes to director information.

The full register is not public. However, director names for active companies are publicly available through the BVI Registry if the company has filed their register. Additional personal details like addresses and dates of birth remain confidential and require authorization to access.

To find directors of a BVI company, you can request a BVI company director search through the Registry for basic director names, or obtain a certified copy of the full BVI register of directors through the Registered Agent for complete details including addresses and appointment dates.

Standard processing takes 3-5 business days. We coordinate with your Registered Agent to obtain and certify the current register of directors, then deliver the document to you via secure digital or physical delivery worldwide.

Yes, but with limitations. Since January 2023, you can request a 'List of Directors' for any BVI company through the BVI Registrar. However, this only provides current director names—no addresses, dates of birth, or former directors are disclosed. You cannot search by director name; you must know the company name. Our service includes this search and provides you with certified results.

The Register of Directors is the full statutory document containing complete information: names, addresses, dates of birth, appointment/cessation dates, and former directors. This is only available to the company and its Registered Agent. The List of Directors is a limited extract containing only current director names, available to any third party upon request to the BVI Registrar.

BVI law protects director privacy. While director names must be disclosed (since January 2023), personal details like addresses and dates of birth remain confidential. This balances transparency requirements with privacy protection for individuals serving as directors.
