We wish to remind our clients that effective November 2021, all directors of a company, registered Australian body, registered foreign company or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation is required to obtain a director identification number (Director ID).

You must apply for your director ID based on the date you become a director;

On or before 31 October 2021 by 30th November 2022;  

Between 1 November 2021 and 4 April 2022 within 28 days of appointment;  

From 5 April 2022 before appointment. 

Directors must apply for their director ID themselves because they will need to verify their identity. We cannot apply on your behalf.

The ABRS is responsible for the implementation and administration of director ID. ASIC will be responsible for the enforcement of associated offences.
