Yes. Individuals must update or correct information through the FinCEN identifier application that is also used to request a FinCEN identifier. Individuals must report any change to the information they submitted to obtain a FinCEN identifier no later than 30 days after the date on which the change occurred. If there is any inaccuracy in this information, an individual must correct the information no later than 30 days after the date the individual became aware of the inaccuracy or had reason to know of it. Reporting companies with a FinCEN identifier must update or correct the company’s information by filing an updated or corrected beneficial ownership information report, as appropriate. Does a reporting company need to update its BOI report if a beneficial owner or company applicant updates the information associated with their individual FinCEN identifier? No. When information for a FinCEN identifier is updated, the BOI reports where that FinCEN identifier appears are automatically updated. When a reporting company provides an individual’s FinCEN identifier for a company applicant or beneficial owner on its BOI report, the Beneficial Ownership IT system automatically links that BOI report to the information provided by the individual when they obtained the identifier, as well as any updates made by the individual to that information.
