We hereby inform registered entities that the Law on the Central Records of Beneficial Owners (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia,” Nos. 19/2025, 51/2025, and 60/2025 – correction), which comes into effect on 1 October 2025, stipulates that the Central Records of Beneficial Owners must also include documents based on which the beneficial owner is determined and a copy of the passport or foreign ID card, if a foreign national is registered as a beneficial owner.
This means that existing registered entities - legal persons and other entities registered in the Republic of Serbia in accordance with the law, and already listed in the Central Records of Beneficial Owners - are obliged to comply with the provisions of the law within 60 days from the date the law takes effect.
Registered entities are required to timely upload the documents on the basis of which the beneficial owner has been determined. Uploading will be considered timely if it is completed within the period from 1 October to 30 November 2025.
