Filing Tip: What to Collect from Beneficial Owners

Under the CTA, your company needs to report certain information about its beneficial owners and company applicants when completing its Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR).

To help you gather the necessary information, here is a list of the information you need from each individual beneficial owner or company applicant:

1. Full legal name

2. Date of birth

3. A complete current residential address (or, if a company applicant forms or registers companies as part of a business, then their business street address)

4. Identification number from a non-expired US passport, US state driver’s license, identification document issued by a US state, Indian tribe or local government (or, they do not have any of the foregoing, then a non-US passport).

5. A copy of the document or card from number 4 above.

Practically speaking, you may be able to gather all the information you need by obtaining a copy of the individual’s driver’s license, as it should contain the individual's full name, date of birth and address. Make sure to check that the license is not expired and is otherwise complete and accurate!
