MBR Certificate of Shareholders: What It Is and How to Get One

The Shareholders Certificate lists the current shareholders of a Maltese company as recorded by the Malta Business Register.

What it is and who issues it

The Malta Business Register (MBR) issues the certificate for a company on its register. It is an official record of who currently holds shares in the company, dated as at the day it is issued.

What it includes

  • The company name and registration number
  • The current shareholder or shareholders of the company
  • The date of issue

When you might need one

Banks, investors and foreign authorities often ask who owns a company before they open an account or sign an agreement. A shareholders certificate answers that question at the date of issue.
