A shareholder or beneficial owner is changing. What do I have to file?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Tell us before the change happens. New owners go through KYC, and the updated beneficial ownership information must be filed with the Registrar within 30 days of the change. We also update the register of members and, where directors change, the register of directors, so the registry, the agent and your bank all hold the same picture.
