[ASIC] Is a Director ID required to be provided to ASIC now, or from 1 July 2027?

Every company director must have a Director ID. If someone is going to become a director, they must apply for a Director ID before they are appointed.

However, as of today (27 July 2026), you do not generally have to provide the Director ID to ASIC when lodging company forms. 

ASIC has announced that this will change from 1 July 2027, when companies will be required to provide directors' Director IDs to ASIC through company reporting processes (such as annual reviews and director appointment/change notifications).

Requirement	Current (July 2026)
Director must have a Director ID	✅ Yes
Director ID must be included in ASIC filings	❌ Not yet (generally no)
Director ID will need to be reported to ASIC	✅ From 1 July 2027

No.1

Registering a new company

When registering a new company, the proposed director(s) must already have applied for a Director ID before appointment, but you generally do not need to enter the Director ID in the ASIC registration itself at this stage.
