How to apply for a Director Identification Number
If you are a Director of an Australian registered Company, from the 1st of November 2021 you will need to register for a Director Identification Number (DIN).
The Australian Business Registry have introduced the DIN to increase accountability and traceability for Directors and prevent illegal phoenix activity.
DIN requirements apply to appointed Directors and acting Directors of Australian corporations and registered foreign companies under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), including companies responsible for managed investment schemes and registered charities.
All Directors will need to have a DIN before 30th November 2022. Any new Directors appointed after 1st November 2021 will have 28 days to apply for a DIN.
