Frequently Asked Questions
Key information about retrieving your Samoa Register of Beneficial Owners
Under Samoa's international company regulations, a beneficial owner is any individual who ultimately owns or exercises control over 25% or more of the company through shareholding, voting rights, or other control mechanisms. The definition encompasses both direct ownership and indirect control through nominee structures, corporate layers, trusts, or other intermediary arrangements.
Access rights are restricted to authorized individuals including the company's directors, authorized officers, designated agents, and competent authorities when properly requested. The register is confidential and cannot be accessed by the general public or unauthorized external parties.
No. The Register of Beneficial Owners for Samoa international companies is not filed with any public registry and remains strictly confidential. It is maintained privately by your Registered Agent and is only accessible to authorized parties and competent authorities for legitimate regulatory or investigative purposes.
The register documents each beneficial owner's complete legal name, full date of birth, citizenship, current residential address, the specific nature of their beneficial interest (ownership mechanism), precise ownership or control percentage, the date they acquired beneficial owner status, and where relevant, the date that status ended.
The register is frequently required for opening international bank accounts, satisfying KYC and anti-money laundering compliance, due diligence in mergers or acquisitions, regulatory filings, responding to legitimate requests from competent authorities, or proving ultimate beneficial ownership structure to financial institutions and professional advisors.
Standard retrieval and delivery takes 3-5 business days. We liaise with your Samoa Registered Agent to obtain the register, arrange for proper certification if needed, and deliver it to you through secure channels.
Your Samoa Registered Agent maintains the Register of Beneficial Owners at the registered office and is responsible for ensuring it accurately reflects current beneficial ownership. The Registered Agent must update the register promptly whenever ownership changes occur and maintain compliance with statutory record-keeping requirements.
Legal shareholders (recorded in the Register of Members) are the formal title holders of shares. Beneficial owners are the individuals who actually derive benefits from or exercise ultimate control over the company. These may differ when nominee shareholders, corporate shareholders, trusts, or complex ownership structures are used. Samoa law requires identifying the ultimate beneficial owners regardless of legal title holders.
Our comprehensive service includes coordination with your Registered Agent, register retrieval, certification arrangements, secure delivery (digital and physical options), and professional support throughout the process.
