The Jersey company registry will be going fully digital from 1 December to make it easier for firms to access and manage their own information.
The changes coincide with a new law coming into force, which requires the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) to collect more information for its central registers.

The Easy Company Registry will be replaced with a customer portal called myRegistry.
Another key update is that the annual return process will be replaced with an annual confirmation statement – a read-only form detailing the information held on the register on 1 January each year. A nominated person will then have to declare whether the information is accurate.
The first annual confirmation will be due between 1 January and 28 February next year.
JFSC Director of Registry and Registrar Julian Lamb said that the new registry system aims to make it “easier for island businesses to share and manage their information with us, while also enhancing our capabilities to counter financial crime.”
