Do I Need to File an Updated BOI Report if There Are Changes in Beneficial Owners’ Contact Information?

A common question is whether a company is required to file an Updated BOI Report when there are changes to the contact information of a beneficial owner. This article addresses this question and guides you on how to handle these changes.

The Importance of Accurate Information for Beneficial Owners

The BOI report requires precise details of beneficial owners, including their name, home address and unique identification number. Accurate details are essential for ensuring transparency and facilitating any necessary communication from FinCEN or other regulatory bodies.

Situations Requiring Updated BOI Reporting

Changes in contact information that require an Updated BOI report include:

• Changes in the home address of a beneficial owner.
• Alterations in identifying documents or their numbers (passport, driver’s license or state/local/tribal ID).
