Jersey Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Jersey company register data is public by default through the myRegistry portal, showing shareholders, directors, and significant persons — but beneficial ownership sits on a separate, restricted layer. The OEBO register, under the Financial Services (Disclosure and Provision of Information) (Jersey) Law 2020, applies a 25% ownership-or-control test, with a senior managing official filed as fallback. Since February 2025 only Jersey-regulated obliged entities can query OEBO via myJFSC, with no walk-up lookup for journalists or banks. Classic limited partnerships sit outside the law entirely, lacking legal personality, while foundations and cell companies stay in scope. Public shareholder data is verified directly at source; trust-held entities and fund control chains behind the restricted layer must be resolved through the regulated trustee or general partner instead.
