# Key persons

> Manage directors, officers, and signatories for your entities.

**Key persons** are the individuals associated with your entities — directors, officers, authorized signatories, and other roles required by law or your governing documents.

## Managing key persons

1. Go to **Entities** and select an entity.
2. Click the **Key persons** tab.
3. Here you can view all individuals linked to the entity and their roles.

## Adding a key person

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add key person">
    Click the **Add** button on the Key persons tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter their details">
    Provide the person's name, email, and role (director, officer, signatory, etc.).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add additional information">
    Depending on the entity's jurisdiction, you may need to provide:

    * Date of birth
    * Nationality
    * Residential address
    * Government ID numbers (e.g., SSN, PAN)
    * Passport or identification documents
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save** to link this person to the entity.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Shared key persons

If the same individual serves as a director or officer across multiple entities, Commenda manages them centrally. When you update a person's contact information, it's reflected across all entities they're linked to.

## Removing a key person

To remove a key person from an entity, go to their profile within the entity and click **Remove**. This only removes the association — it does not delete the person's record from Commenda.
