Director Identification Number: Who Qualifies and What You Get
If you are a director of a company or registered Australian body, you must obtain this unique identifier to stay compliant.
A Director Identification Number is a permanent, unique identifier assigned to individuals who serve as directors of companies or registered Australian bodies.
Who it's for
This is for anyone serving as a director of a company or a registered Australian body.
What you get
You receive a unique identifier that stays with you permanently. This number helps link your identity to the roles you hold within businesses.
What it costs you
There is no fee to obtain this identifier. To complete the process, you will need to use a myGovID to verify your identity.
The catch to know
You are responsible for your own application. Even if you hire a professional agent to help with your business affairs, they cannot apply for this number on your behalf; you must do it yourself.
How to apply
- Set up and activate your myGovID.
- Visit the official registry services website.
- Complete the online application to verify your identity.
- Receive your permanent identifier.
