Amendment To Maltese Companies Act Introduces New Requirements

Recent amendments to the Maltese Companies Act (Act LX of 2021) have continued to develop on the principles of transparency of information on companies, their members and officers. Service providers and company officers must be aware of these new requirements and all the information that must be provided to the Registrar of Companies ("the Registrar") on the coming into force of these new rules.

The introduced changes are the following:

1. Where a document submitted to the Registrar needs to state the name and address of a person, such address may be either the residence or service address. Companies are now also required to include the date of birth of natural persons and the company registration number in the case of bodies corporate.
