How Do I Get a Company Extract from ASIC? | Taxopia

If you need official information about an Australian company—whether for due diligence, compliance, or verification purposes—you can request a company extract from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). This blog explains how to obtain one, what’s included, and why it matters.

What is a Company Extract?

A company extract is an official summary of key information held by ASIC about a registered company in Australia. It provides details such as the company’s registration number, directors, shareholders, registered office, and more.

Types of ASIC Company Extracts

  • Current Company Extract: Shows up-to-date information about the company as of the request date.
  • Historical Company Extract: Includes both current and historical company details including past directors and address changes.
  • Current and Historical Company Extract: A combination that provides the full history of the company up to the present day.

What Information is Included in a Company Extract?

  • Australian Company Number (ACN)
  • Company name and type (e.g., Pty Ltd)
  • Date of registration
  • Current and previous directors and secretaries
  • Registered office and principal place of business
  • Share structure and shareholders (for proprietary companies)
  • Company status (e.g., registered, deregistered)

How to Order a Company Extract from ASIC

  1. Go to the ASIC Connect website
  2. Select “Search ASIC Registers” then choose “Organisations and Business Names”
  3. Enter the company name or ACN and click search
  4. Select the correct company from the list of results
  5. Choose the type of extract (current, historical, or both)
  6. Pay the applicable fee via credit card
  7. Download the extract once payment is confirmed

How Much Does It Cost?

As of 2024, the fees are:

  • Current extract: $9.00
  • Historical or full extract: $19.00

Prices may change, so always check ASIC’s website for the most current rates.

When Might You Need a Company Extract?

  • To verify a company’s registration and directorship
  • For legal, accounting, or business due diligence
  • When entering a commercial agreement or partnership
  • To confirm the official address or contact information of a company
  • When updating internal records or applying for business finance
