The direct answer
Trust and Company Service Providers (TCSPs) are included among the listed-business categories supervised by the Financial Intelligence Unit of Trinidad and Tobago. Where a business performs activities that fall within the relevant TCSP category, FIUTT registration forms part of the applicable supervisory framework.
FIUTT’s own registration guidance also states that a business operating in more than one listed-business category must submit registration for each applicable category. This is why one business can legitimately hold separate registration references for different supervised activities.
Why TCSP activity is supervised
Company and trust services can involve formation, administration, control structures, ownership information and transactions on behalf of clients. Those characteristics create obligations around customer identification, beneficial ownership, record keeping and suspicious-activity controls under the applicable AML/CFT/CPF framework.
Registration therefore identifies the provider within the FIUTT supervisory system. It should not be confused with incorporation of the provider itself or with registration of a client company at the Companies Registry.
DSDillon’s TCSP registration reference
Company credential
FIUTT Trust and Company Service Provider registration reference: TCSP/LB/131/2025.
This reference is published for institutional and client due diligence. It identifies the stated supervised-business registration category; it is not a substitute for checking the scope of any specific engagement.
Registration does not amount to FIUTT endorsement
FIUTT registration should not be presented as a licence to practise law, accounting or another regulated profession, and it should not be presented as an endorsement or guarantee by FIUTT. The correct description is registration as a supervised entity in the applicable listed-business category.
Official FIUTT resources
FIUTT’s official registration page explains who must register, while the current Listed Business registration form identifies Trust and Company Service Providers among the covered categories.
Why TCSP registration needs active maintenance after the first filing.
A trust or company service provider can sit close to legal-entity formation, control structures, ownership information and transactions carried out for clients. Registration belongs inside a continuing compliance system with clear responsibilities and current records. The provider should know which activities fall within its registered categories and maintain the required information when the business changes.
FIUTT’s current materials also distinguish initial registration from later maintenance and renewal. Its 2026 renewal notice states that supervised entities receiving certificates after 16 November 2025 renew every five years, with applications due three months before the certificate expires. Businesses registered earlier should consult the FIUTT transition instructions that apply to their registration.
- One provider can require more than one listed-business registration when it performs activities in several covered categories.
- TCSP registration is separate from incorporation of the provider or registration of a client company.
- Legal, accounting and other regulated professional work remains subject to the separate rules that govern those professions.
For a client appointing a TCSP
Confirm the service being purchased, the entity that will perform it, the applicable registration or professional status, who owns records and accounts, and which tasks remain with attorneys, accountants, directors or the client.
