In light of a recent federal court order, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.

More information is available on FinCEN’s website at https://www.fincen.gov/boi

How To

Filing a Beneficial Ownership Information Report is simple using our platform and should only take 5-7 minutes.  To get started, you’ll first need the following information:

Company Information

  • Company legal name
  • All trade names or DBA’s registered to your company
  • Company type (LLC, corporation, etc.)
  • Tax ID number and type
  • Year of formation (before or after January 1, 2024)
  • Country / jurisdiction of formation
  • Company physical address (no P.O. boxes allowed)

You will also need to know the following:

  • Does your company have a FinCEN ID? (most companies will not have a FinCEN ID if they are filing their initial BOI report)
  • Is your company a foreign pooled investment vehicle?

Beneficial Owner Information (for each individual designated as a Beneficial Owner)

  • Full legal name (first, middle and last)
  • Date of birth
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Home address
  • Beneficial ownership type (owner, corporate officer, etc.)
  • Personal identification document information
    • ID type (Drivers license, passport, state/local/tribe-issued)
    • ID number
    • Expiration date
    • Country / jurisdiction
    • State of issuance
    • A copy of the front of your ID

You will also need to know the following:

  • Do you have a personal FinCEN ID?  (You likely will not have a personal FinCEN ID yet, but if you’d like one, you can apply for it here: https://secure.login.gov/sign_up/enter_email)
  • Is the beneficial owner that you’re reporting a minor child?  (If so, you can report the personal information above of their parent or legal guardian.)
  • Is the beneficial owner an exempt entity?  (If an exempt entity is a beneficial owner, you can report the information listed in the above Company Information section instead of providing the personal information of that exempt company.)
