What the agency says

FinCEN is issuing this final rule to adopt as final and with certain limited changes the interim final rule issued on March 26, 2025, which narrowed beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under FinCEN's regulations implementing the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). In particular, this final rule not only continues to exempt reporting companies from having to report the BOI of U.S. person beneficial owners and U.S. person beneficial owners from having to provide BOI to reporting companies; it also exempts reporting companies from having to submit information about their U.S. person company applicants to FinCEN and exempts U.S. person company applicants from any obligation to provide their information. In addition, the final rule exempts all U.S. persons from the requirement to update information already provided to FinCEN in connection with obtaining a FinCEN identifier (FinCEN ID).
