  • Passport number and issuing authority for non-residents

For publicly listed companies that are required to submit information:

  • Official company name

  • The percentage of votes held directly

For states or state-owned enterprises that are beneficial owners:

  • The name of the State (internally this should resolve to a 2-digit ISO country code).
  • The official name of the legal entity (state-owned enterprise or other legal form) that owns the license-holding company
  • Contact address
  • Any identifiers for the legal entity that owns the license-holding company; Open Ownership can advise on suitable identifiers.
  • The percentage of shares held directly
  • The percentage of shares held indirectly
  • The percentage of votes held directly
  • The percentage of votes held directly
  • In cases where no controlling legal entity exists, or can be identified:
