How Do I Find My Director ID Number?

   
If you’ve already applied for a Director ID in Australia but are unsure where to locate it, this guide walks you through how to find your Director Identification Number (DIN) quickly and securely. Whether you need it for ASIC compliance, company records, or simply to confirm your registration, here’s what you need to know.

What is a Director ID?

A Director Identification Number (Director ID or DIN) is a 15-digit unique identifier issued to a director of a company under the Corporations Act 2001. Once issued, it stays with the individual for life—even if they change companies or stop being a director.

How to Find Your Director ID

You can retrieve your Director ID number using one of the following methods:

1. Log in to ABRS Online

  1. Visit abrs.gov.au
  2. Select “Director ID” from the menu and click “Log in”
  3. Use your myGovID (not myGov) to log in securely
  4. Once logged in, your Director ID number will be displayed on the dashboard

2. Check Your Confirmation Email or Letter

  • If you applied online, your Director ID was emailed to you by the ABRS
  • If you applied via paper or phone, a letter was sent to your postal address

3. Contact ABRS Support

  • If you cannot access your Director ID via ABRS online or can’t find your email/letter, you can call the Australian Business Registry Services (ABRS) at 13 62 50
  • You will need to verify your identity to retrieve your Director ID

What If You’ve Forgotten Your Director ID?

If you’ve forgotten your Director ID, don’t worry. Your ID remains stored securely with the ABRS. To retrieve it:
  • Log in again to the ABRS using your myGovID
  • If you’re unable to log in, call ABRS to retrieve it after verifying your identity
  • Make sure to update your contact details if you’ve changed your email or mailing address

Why You Might Need Your Director ID

  • To confirm your directorship to a business partner or company secretary
  • For ASIC or ATO-related compliance checks
  • When managing multiple directorships or applying for financial services
  • To update company records or corporate registers
