Foreign Company Nominee Shareholder Registers

The foreign-company guide adds a central filing layer to nominee-shareholder record keeping.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

What the document covers

The guide adapts nominee shareholder recordkeeping and central lodgment to foreign companies. It provides a register template and discusses the relevant disclosure obligations.

Specific requirements and implications

The relevant foreign company must have share capital, and any claimed exemption must fit a stated category. Registration from 16 June 2025 triggers disclosure at registration; becoming a nominee later has its own notification timetable. The company records changes within seven days after being informed and submits corresponding central updates within two business days of the internal change. A person may be a nominee shareholder, a controller, both or neither under the separate definitions.
