Director ID: apply yourself, apply once, keep it forever

A director ID belongs to the individual director, not to a company or an adviser.

One identifier follows the director

Australian Business Registry Services says current and intended directors need their own director ID, apply only once and keep the same identifier forever. Applying is free and the individual must apply for their own ID; an adviser can help prepare but cannot apply on the director's behalf.

Prepare without copying sensitive numbers

Check that identity records match and gather the types of documents required by the official channel. Avoid storing document numbers in an informal checklist.
