The amendments clarify requirements regarding information on beneficial owners, the drafting of charters, the verification of tax and customs debts, company reorganization, and making changes to the state register.** The corresponding resolution No. 746 was signed by Head of the Cabinet of Ministers Adylbek Kasymaliev on **November 9, 2026**. The document introduces amendments to the regulations approved by resolution No. 257 dated April 17, 2026. #### **Requirements for disclosure of beneficiaries clarified** One of the key changes concerns the **content of the decision on the re-registration of a legal entity**. It must now include information on each beneficial owner of the company: last name, first name, patronymic (if any), citizenship, personal identification number, and place of residence. > The decision must also reflect amendments and additions made to the information in the state register. The document confirms the authenticity of the data specified therein and the information in the attached materials. For certain organizational and legal forms, requirements for drafting decisions have been clarified. In particular, upon the re-registration of business partnerships and companies, with the exception of joint-stock companies, the decision must be signed by the founders. Their signatures must be notarized, and the document must be sealed with the seal of the legal entity. Representatives of legal entities that are founders or participants must also seal the decision or notarize the signature. > Upon the re-registration of a public foundation or institution with a single participant, **their signature on the decision is subject to notarization**. The requirement to disclose ultimate business owners was introduced in the new regulations back in April. At that time, **Economist.kg** [reported](https://economist.kg/biznes/2026/04/21/biznes-v-kyrgyzstane-zastaviat-raskryt-realnykh-benefitsiarov/) on the need to provide the Ministry of Justice with information on beneficiaries, including for companies registered before March 1, 2026\. The current amendments clarify the drafting of the re-registration decision and the list of mandatory information. #### **Company charters and powers of registration bodies** The amendments clarify that legal entities, branches, and representative offices may operate on the basis of model charters or self-developed charters. Model charters, with the exception of those for financial and credit institutions, will be approved by the authorized body. > At the same time, the regulations excluded the mention of mass media from the definition of the scope of state registration of legal entities. The distribution of powers between the authorized body and registration subdivisions was also clarified. The registration of political parties, as well as the introduction of changes to their data in the state register, will be carried out by the authorized body. #### **Fees for application review** The changes also affected the procedure for charging state fees and payments for registration actions. It is now expressly established that the fee and payment are charged **for each review of an application**. > This means that in the event of a re-application following a refusal of registration, the applicant must take into account the possibility of a repeat payment in accordance with established tariffs and rules. #### **Reorganization: One-month notice in the presence of creditors** Legal entities planning a reorganization **if they have creditors** must send a notice of the upcoming procedure to the registration body no later than one month prior to submitting documents for re-registration. > The notice must specify the deadline for creditors to present their claims. The information will be published on the official website of the authorized body. Thus, the updated procedure clarifies the process of preliminary notification of creditors during the reorganization of a legal entity. #### **Liquidation: verification of tax and customs obligations** A separate block of amendments concerns the termination of company operations. Upon receiving a notice of liquidation, the registration body will request information through the electronic document management system from authorized state bodies regarding the absence of obligations for: - taxes; - insurance premiums; - non-tax revenues; - customs payments. If such obligations exist, registration of the termination of activities of the legal entity, branch, or representative office will be denied. > Verification of these obligations is also provided for when reviewing documents for the registration of the termination of activities of legal entities, branches, and representative offices. Earlier, ****Economist.kg** [reported](https://economist.kg/vlast/2026/05/01/v-kyrgyzstane-vstupili-v-silu-obnovlennye-pravila-registratsii-iuridicheskikh-lits/) on the entry into force of the new regulations on the state registration of legal entities. One of its principles was interagency cooperation: justice authorities independently request necessary information from state bodies, including during company liquidation. Now the list of verified obligations has been clarified to include non-tax revenues and arrears on customs payments. #### **Changes to company data and legal address** The amendments clarify the list of information that legal entities are required to report for inclusion in the state register. > In particular, this now includes the main type of economic activity. Relevant information must be reflected when making changes to company data, including without undergoing the full re-registration procedure. When changing the location of a legal entity, branch, or representative office, as well as the main type of economic activity, the notice must be accompanied by a decision of the authorized body of the legal entity, certified by a seal. > For foreign citizens when drawing up registration documents, provisions are made to indicate not only the personal identification number, but also another identification number. #### **Additional requirements for homeowners associations** The procedure for notifying about a change of the chairman of a homeowners association has been separately amended. If the chairman is changed by a decision of the general meeting of members of the homeowners association, the notice must now be accompanied by: - a list of owners of residential and non-residential premises of the apartment building who participated in the general meeting, indicating their last name, first name, patronymic (if any) and address; - an extract from the relevant state body confirming the ownership rights of the meeting participants to the property. Thus, when replacing the head of a homeowners association, it will be necessary to document not only the decision of the general meeting, but also the status of the owners who participated in it. #### **Amendments against the backdrop of business registration digitalization** The changes continue the reform of the legal entity registration system carried out by the Ministry of Justice in recent years. In July, the editorial office [published](https://economist.kg/biznes/2026/07/17/online-business-registration-kyrgyzstan/) an article on the digitalization of public services for business. At that time, key areas included online registration, re-registration, and liquidation of companies, extraterritoriality of justice authority services, and a reduction in the number of documents entrepreneurs must collect independently. > Another area of reform is linked to increasing the transparency of the corporate structure. In October, **Economist.kg** [reported](https://economist.kg/vlast/2026/10/09/reestr-nalogoplatelshchikov-samozapret/) on presidential instructions to create a register of unfair taxpayers, introduce a self-ban on registering a business in one's name, and strengthen liability for using dummy persons when setting up companies. The current amendments affect several elements of this system at once: the identification of business owners, the currency of state register information, and the control over the fulfillment of obligations to the state. > Resolution No. 746 was published on November 10, 2026, and will enter into force on **November 20, 2026**.
