Jamaica Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Jamaica company register data is held on the Register of Members maintained under the Companies Act (Act 10 of 2004), searchable through the Companies Office of Jamaica (ORC). The same Act now folds in beneficial ownership: the Register of Members and Beneficial Owners, strengthened by the Companies (Amendment) Act effective 1 April 2023, sets a 25% ownership or control threshold, down from 50% before the amendment. Access to beneficial-owner filings is restricted to named authorities, including the Commissioner of Customs, Commissioner of Taxes, and the Financial Investigations Division, not open to general search. The 2023 amendment also extended the disclosure duty to non-profit entities, previously exempt alongside profit-making companies.
