Ownership transfer
Starting from 01.08.2020, ownership (shareholder) changes can be made by the company's board member.
There is no need for notary assistance.
As a rule, the articles of the ready-made company are prepared so that ownership can be transferred in a simplified manner, usually within one day.
However, the current board member must have full and correct information to file new owners in register. For a private shareholder, the following documents and information are required:
Document copy
Residence address
Email address
For a foreign company to be filed as a new shareholder in the register, the following documents and information are required:
Company registry card (preferably in English), showing name, reg no, address, owners, and board members.
For KYC purposes, information about UBOs must also be provided.
Company email address
Board membership change
If the new board member can sign digitally (e-residency or EU digital ID), adding new board members is relatively easy. Otherwise, they must sign an application or POA by the local notary and often add an apostille to the document.
To prepare the paperwork, the following documents and information are required:
Document copy
Residence address
Email address
UBO change
As a rule UBO-s (Ultimate Beneficiary Owners) are the direct owners of the company. If the company owner is another company, then the current board member must identify real UBOs and file them ASAP.
To prepare the filing new UBO-s, the following documents and information are required:
Document copy
Residence address
Email address
Company name and activity change
Changing the company name is related to the company's activity. In many cases, the company name may be too similar to a trademark, so it is essential to ensure that the trademark does not cover the activity.
Even if there is no trademark coverage, it is essential to ensure the new company name is sufficiently different from other company names.

However, this inquiry does not provide 100% accurate answers, as the registry officer makes the final decision.
