boiefiling.fincen.gov is the federal portal for Beneficial Ownership Information reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act. After the March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, domestic reporting companies are exempt and foreign reporting companies remain obligated. This Anonymousllc.co reference covers when the portal applies to you, how to navigate it, what a FinCEN ID is, and how Anonymousllc.co's $150 BOI filing service works.
Under the March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, domestic reporting companies are exempt. Foreign reporting companies remain obligated.
Open full text →Under the March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule (Federal Register Volume 90, Pages 13688-13702), the BOI reporting requirement applies as follows: • Domestic reporting companies (LLCs and corporations formed under US state law) - EXEMPT. No BOI filing required, including for anonymous LLCs formed in Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, or Nevada. • Foreign reporting companies (entities formed under foreign law and registered to do business in a US state) - REQUIRED. BOI filing remains an obligation. The IFR is not the final rule - FinCEN published an NPRM and is collecting comments through Q4 2025. The IFR's effect is to suspend the original CTA reporting requirement for domestic entities while the rulemaking process continues. Anonymousllc.co's BOI Status Tracker is updated monthly with any change.
The BOI E-Filing portal is at boiefiling.fincen.gov. It is operated by FinCEN's BOI Unit and is the ONLY official portal for BOI submissions. Be aware of impersonation sites - FinCEN does not use third-party platforms for BOI collection. The portal offers two filing methods: • Online interactive filing - fill out fields in the browser, upload identifier documents (driver's license, passport, etc.) for each beneficial owner, submit. Confirmation is delivered as a downloadable PDF. • PDF batch filing - for filers (Anonymousllc.co, law firms, registered agents) submitting multiple BOIRs. The PDF is downloaded, filled offline, and uploaded via the same portal. The portal does not require an account for one-off submissions. A FinCEN ID is optional (see below).
A Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) contains: • Reporting company information - full legal name, any trade names, principal US business address, jurisdiction of formation, IRS Taxpayer ID (EIN). • Beneficial owner information - for each individual who owns 25%+ or who exercises substantial control: full legal name, date of birth, residential address, and a unique identifying number from an acceptable identifier document (US driver's license, US passport, US state-issued ID, or foreign passport if no US ID available). An image of the document is uploaded. • Company applicant information - for entities formed on or after January 1, 2024, the individual who filed the formation document (the registered agent at the formation service) plus the individual who directed the filing. The portal collects this data, generates a BOIR ID, and delivers a confirmation. Confirmation should be retained - it is the documentary evidence of compliance.
A FinCEN ID is a personal identifier issued by FinCEN that lets a beneficial owner avoid re-uploading their identifier document for every BOIR they appear on. If you own 25%+ of multiple reporting companies, getting a FinCEN ID once and referencing it in each BOIR is significantly faster than re-uploading your passport for every entity. FinCEN IDs are obtained at the same boiefiling.fincen.gov portal under 'Apply for a FinCEN ID.' The application requires the same information a BOIR requires for one beneficial owner - name, DOB, address, identifier document. Approval is instant. The FinCEN ID is then used in any future BOIR by typing it in instead of re-uploading documents.
Under the original CTA rule (now suspended for domestic reporting companies by the March 2025 IFR), deadlines were: • Companies formed before January 1, 2024 - initial BOIR due by January 1, 2025. • Companies formed January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 - initial BOIR due within 90 days of formation. • Companies formed on or after January 1, 2025 - initial BOIR due within 30 days of formation. • Updated BOIR - required within 30 days of any change to reportable information (new beneficial owner, address change, name change). For foreign reporting companies, these deadlines remain in effect. For domestic reporting companies, no current deadline applies under the IFR but the original deadlines may be reinstated by the final rule.
In 2026, foreign reporting companies must file BOI; domestic reporting companies do not. A foreign reporting company is an entity formed under non-US law that registers to do business in a US state or tribal jurisdiction. A domestic reporting company is any LLC or corporation formed under US state law, including anonymous LLCs in Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada. Ownership does not change the category - a US LLC owned entirely by non-residents is still domestic and exempt. The distinction is where the entity was formed. Anonymousllc.co confirms each customer's category at intake before deciding whether any filing is needed.
An updated BOIR is required within 30 days of any change to previously reported information - a new beneficial owner, a change of address, a name change, or a new identifier document. Corrections to an error in a prior report are filed the same way, through boiefiling.fincen.gov, by submitting a new report marked as an update or correction. There is no annual renewal; BOI is event-driven, so a company with no changes files nothing after its initial report. Anonymousllc.co files updated BOIRs for $99 per filing and tracks reportable changes for customers who want ongoing coverage.
boiefiling.fincen.gov is the only official BOI portal, and FinCEN charges no fee to file. Treat any letter, email, or website that demands a BOI "filing fee" payable to a private party, or that mimics a government form, as an impersonation attempt. FinCEN does not send unsolicited filing demands or collect payment for BOI. Common scam signals are urgent deadlines, QR codes to third-party sites, and requests for payment to file. Anonymousllc.co's fee is a service fee for preparing and submitting the report, separate from any FinCEN charge - and FinCEN itself charges nothing.
Anonymousllc.co handles BOI filings for customers who fall into a reporting category - primarily foreign reporting companies and customers who want to file proactively despite the domestic exemption. The service is $150 flat and includes: • Beneficial-owner intake via WhatsApp (legal name, DOB, residential address, identifier document image) • FinCEN ID acquisition if the customer wants one (recommended for multi-entity owners) • BOIR preparation and submission via boiefiling.fincen.gov • Confirmation PDF delivered back to the customer • Updated BOIR filing within 30 days of any reportable change (additional $99 per updated filing) If you're an Anonymousllc.co formation customer, the BOI status check is included free at intake. If you're confirmed exempt under the IFR, no filing is made and no fee is charged.
