Applying for a DIN

1.     Set up a myGovID

You will need a ‘standard’ or ‘strong’ identity strength myGovID to apply for your director ID online.

If you don’t have a myGovID, you can find information on how to download the app at how to set up myGovID.

2.     Gather supporting documents

• your tax file number (TFN)
• your residential address as held by the ATO
• information from two documents to verify your identity:
• bank account details
• an ATO notice of assessment
• super account details
• a dividend statement
• a Centrelink payment summary
• PAYG payment summary.

3.     Complete your application

Once you have a standard or strong identity strength myGovID, and your documents, from November 2021 you can log in to the ABRS website and apply for your director ID. The application process should take less than 5 minutes.

Note - Directors must apply for their director ID themselves because they need to verify their identity. No one can apply on their behalf.

If you have questions about submitting an application for a director ID or, would like assistance with your application, contact your Aspen Corporate Advisor.
