Reminder: New ID requirement for ALL Australian Company directors
Existing Company Directors have until 1 November 2022, to be registered under the Australian Business Registry (ABRS) Department with a Director Identification Number (DIN). If you want to become a director or are already one, you'll need a director ID.
The fastest way to obtain a DIN is to apply online on the ABRS website. This requires a myGovID account (which is different from a standard myGov account).

Directors who reside outside of Australia may be able to apply through the online myGovID application if they can provide the necessary identity documents. For those who cannot, you are able to apply via a paper application.
To apply as a foreign resident through the paper application, you will need to fill out the application form which can be found here: CLICK HERE
