Director ID alert

What is a Director ID?

From November 2021, directors will need to verify their identity as part of a new director ID requirement.

A director ID is a unique identifier that a director will apply for once and keep forever.

This applies to directors if their organisation is a company, registered foreign company, registered Australian body or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation. 

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

The ABRS is responsible for the implementation and administration of director ID. ASIC will be responsible for the enforcement of associated offenses. 

For more information on Director ID and how to apply for one, check out the Australian Business Registry Services (ABRS) website.

Director ID Alert

CAS 360's Director ID Alert is designed to help you track and manage your company director's IDs. You will instantly be able to identify if a director still needs to apply for an ID and better yet, the alert even allows you to send messages to the company directors reminding them of their ID obligations and how to go about acquiring one.

The Director ID alerts are broken up into the following categories:

• Required in 28 days
• Required by November 2022
• Overdue
• Complete

Note: Companies with a grey Director ID alert indicate that the company has no currently appointed directors recorded in the Officers Screen.

By hovering over the alert when it is either yellow, red or maroon (indicating that the ID has not been saved into your CAS 360 Database) CAS 360 will give users the ability to review all the director IDs in the Company.
