The Register of Beneficiaries (UBO) is an official document that identifies and confirms who ultimately owns or controls a legal entity, directly or indirectly. Also referred to as the UBO Register, Beneficial Ownership Register, or Register of Ultimate Beneficial Owners, this document is essential for regulatory compliance, KYC/AML verification, risk assessment, financial transactions, and cross-border business dealings. The register enhances transparency by disclosing the real persons behind corporate structures, including those holding significant control through ownership or other means.
