GFSC assumes responsibility for Gibraltar's Ultimate Beneficial Ownership register. 04 sep 26. The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) has assumed responsibility for the operation of Gibraltar's Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) Register, taking over the function with effect from 1 September 2026. As part of this transition, the GFSC has launched a new digital platform designed to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for entities required to submit and maintain UBO information. The UBO Register Submissions Portal previously maintained closed on 31 August 2026 and will no longer accept new submissions. From 1 September 2026, all GFSC-regulated entities can access and manage their UBO obligations through a dedicated UBO section within the GFSC Portal. Other corporate and legal entities incorporated or established in Gibraltar that are required to submit beneficial ownership information must register for the service at: https://portal.fsc.gi/uboregister To support the migration to the new system, the GFSC has introduced a transitional period until 30 September 2026, during which all relevant entities should ensure their beneficial ownership information is submitted to the new UBO Register. The GFSC is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all users and will continue to provide guidance and support throughout the implementation period. For further information, technical assistance, or guidance on the new UBO Register system, please refer to the FAQs available at fsc.gi or contact the Beneficial Ownership Registry Team at [email protected] or on +350 222 59029.
