FinCEN is committed to the values of privacy and information security. As discussed in the
final rule preamble, FinCEN is implementing a process to delete information about any
individuals—company applicants, beneficial owners, or recipients of a FinCEN ID—that
FinCEN reasonably believes was provided by a U.S. person (e.g., U.S. passport, U.S. driver’s
license). As part of this process, FinCEN anticipates working with the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA) to ensure FinCEN is abiding by all applicable Federal
records laws.
