Key takeaways
- Each jurisdiction names a register and a filing deadline.
- Deadlines range from immediate to 30 days after a change.
- Late filing carries fines and, in some regimes, criminal liability.
Register and clock
Disclosure is not just identifying the UBO — it is filing to the right register within a deadline. The UK files to Companies House within 14 days; Germany to the Transparenzregister; France to the RBE; Singapore to ACRA within days.
The cost of missing
Late or missing filings carry consequences from administrative fines to, in some regimes, criminal liability for the company and its officers. A jurisdiction-aware system surfaces the register and deadline per owner so nothing is missed.
FAQ
Is identifying the UBO enough?
No — you must also file to the correct register within the deadline.
