BOI Report Filing Instructions

BOI E-Filing Portal and Instructions Now Available

Reporting companies may complete Beneficial Ownership Information Reports (BOIRs) electronically by accessing the BOI E-Filing portal at https://boiefiling.fincen.gov (accessible beginning on January 1, 2024).

The E-Filing portal permits a reporting company to choose one of the following filing methods to submit a BOIR:

  • Upload finalized PDF version of BOIR and submit online.
  • Fill out Web-based version of BOIR and submit online.

FinCEN also offers system-to-system BOIR transmission via secure Application Programming Interface (API) for those, including third-party service providers, who are interested in automating the BOIR filing process. Contact FinCEN for API information.

Note that BOIRs cannot be mailed or faxed to FinCEN.

A 21-page instruction guide for completing the Beneficial Ownership Information Report is available on the BOI E-filing Help & Resources page.
