Brønnøysund Beneficial Ownership Register Update Form

Streamline Norwegian Beneficial Ownership Reporting with Paperform

If your business operates in Norway, keeping the Brønnøysund Register Centre's beneficial ownership register (Registeret over reelle rettighetshavere) up to date isn't optional—it's a legal requirement under Norwegian anti-money laundering regulations. Whether you're a compliance officer, company secretary, legal advisor, or business owner managing Norwegian entities, our Brønnøysund Beneficial Ownership Register Update Form makes regulatory reporting straightforward, secure, and audit-ready.

Why Norwegian businesses need a structured ownership reporting process

Norway's beneficial ownership register requires companies to disclose individuals who ultimately own or control more than 25% of shares or voting rights, or who exercise control through other means. Changes must be reported promptly, with accurate ownership percentages, control methods clearly documented, and supporting verification materials submitted alongside each update.

Manual processes—scattered email threads, unsigned PDFs, missing documentation—create compliance risk and administrative headaches. This template gives you a professional, compliant collection point that can integrate directly into your Norwegian business workflows.

What this template includes

This form template captures everything the Brønnøysund Register Centre needs for beneficial ownership updates:

• Company identification with organization number and registered business name
• Beneficial owner details including full legal name, date of birth, citizenship, and Norwegian D-nummer or foreign ID
• Ownership percentage fields with precise numeric inputs for share ownership and voting rights
• Control method documentation to specify whether ownership is direct, indirect, through trust arrangements, or via other control mechanisms
• Identity verification document uploads for passport copies, residence permits, or national ID cards
• Supporting documentation section for shareholder agreements, trust deeds, or corporate structure diagrams
• Declaration and confirmation statements to ensure accuracy and legal compliance

The form is structured to guide submitters through each required data point, reducing errors and back-and-forth while creating a complete audit trail of every ownership change.

Designed for Norwegian compliance professionals

This template is particularly valuable for:

• Corporate secretaries and company administrators managing Norwegian AS or ASA entities
• Legal advisors and law firms handling corporate governance for Norwegian clients
• Accounting and bookkeeping practices supporting SMB compliance obligations
• In-house compliance teams at Norwegian subsidiaries of international groups
• Business formation consultants helping entrepreneurs establish Norwegian presence

The form can be customized with your firm's branding, embedded on your client portal, or shared as a secure standalone link for clients to complete whenever ownership structures change.

Automate the workflow after submission

Once beneficial owners submit their updated information, Paperform's ecosystem keeps everything moving:

• Use Stepper (stepper.io) to route completed forms to your verification team, trigger follow-up requests for missing documentation, and notify the Brønnøysund filing team once all materials are validated
• Sync ownership data automatically to your corporate records system, Airtable or Google Sheets for centralized tracking
• Generate eSignature-ready confirmation letters via Papersign (papersign.com) for beneficial owners to formally attest to the accuracy of their disclosures
• Send conditional confirmation emails with different next steps depending on whether additional ID verification is required
• Create Slack or Microsoft Teams notifications so your compliance team knows immediately when urgent ownership changes come in

This automation turns what used to be a manual, multi-day process into a smooth, traceable workflow that scales across your entire client base.

Professional, secure, and Norway-ready

The form uses conditional logic to show relevant fields based on the type of control being reported, guiding users through complex ownership structures without overwhelming them. File upload fields ensure you receive high-quality verification documents in the formats you need, and all submissions are captured with timestamps and IP logging for your compliance records.

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR-ready, which matters when you're handling sensitive personal identification data for beneficial ownership reporting in the European Economic Area. You can set data residency preferences, enable two-factor authentication for your team, and apply role-based access controls to protect client confidentiality.
