Who needs a director ID?

You need a director ID if you’re an eligible officer of:

• a company, registered Australian body, or registered foreign company under the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act)
• an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation registered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (CATSI Act).

An eligible officer is a person who is appointed as either:

• a director
• an alternate director who is acting in that capacity.

You will only ever need one director ID. You don’t have to apply for another one if you become a director of other companies or corporations.

You must apply for your own director ID to verify your identity. No one can apply on your behalf before the 30th of November 2022, failure to do so may result in a large penalty.

The fastest way to apply is online.

Information found on the ABRS website

We need to know your Director ID but keep it safe. 

A Director ID should only be shared with your accountant, company secretary, ASIC registered agent or tax professional and should be treated with the
same security as a Tax File Number.

If we don’t have your Director ID already please call our reception on 02 6554 9511 so we can add this to your file.
