Most offshore incorporation agents supply clients with a company records book that includes a Register of Directors.

The purpose of the Register is to maintain pertinent information with regards to past and current directors of the company.

The Register should contain the following:

• Names and addresses of the persons who are directors of the company;
• Date on which each director was appointed;
• Date on which any person ceased to be a director.

Unless your offshore company is managed by a nominee director, the responsibility to maintain the Register lies with you. Also, an up-to-date copy of the Register almost always needs to be kept at the company's registered office.

Note that offshore corporate legislation usually permits an electronic version of a Register of Directors so long as the company is able to produce written evidence of its contents.
