Unfortunately, we are unable to apply for a DIN on your behalf. You must apply for your own DIN to verify your identity.
In order to apply for a DIN correctly there are multiple steps that need to be followed. You will need to visit the ABRS website CLICK HERE and follow the 3-step process set out on the website.
Step 1 – Set-up a myGovID
You will need a myGovID with a standard or strong identity strength using two Australian identity documents, such as:
‒Driver’s licence or learner’s permit
‒Passport
‒Birth certificate
‒Visa (using foreign passport providing still in Australia)
‒Citizenship certificate
‒ImmiCard
‒Medicare card
Tip – myGovID is different from myGov
myGovID is an app. You download the myGovID app to your smart device. It lets you prove who you are and log in to a range of government online services, including myGov.
myGov is an account. Your myGov account lets you link to and access online services provided by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Centrelink, Medicare and more.
If you already have a myGovID go to Step 2.
Step 2 – Gather the documents required for identification
You will need to have some information the ATO knows about you when you apply for your DIN.
You will need to complete a ‘proof of ATO record ownership’ (PORO) by providing:
‒Your tax file number (TFN)
‒Your residential address as held by the ATO
‒Information from two documents to verify your identity
Examples of the documents you can use to verify your identity include:
‒Bank account details
‒An ATO notice of assessment
‒Super account details
‒A dividend statement
‒A Centrelink payment summary
‒PAYG payment summary
Step 3 – Complete your application
Once you have a myGovID with a standard or strong identity strength, and information to verify your identity, you can log in and apply for your DIN:
Your myGovID details and ATO details will be prefilled and all you need to do is enter your place of birth, postal address, mobile number, any former names and complete the declaration.
The application process should take less than 5 minutes and once complete, you will instantly receive your DIN.
Tip – if you are a director and living overseas, you can still apply online if you can verify your identity with myGovID.
How do I apply for a DIN if I cannot get a myGovID?
If you can’t get a myGovID with a standard or strong identity strength, you can apply by phone or with a paper form.
You can apply by phone if you have:
‒An Australian TFN
‒The information needed to verify your identity (as listed above)
The phone number is 13 62 50 and is available between 8:00am and 6:00pm Monday to Friday for directors in Australia. For directors calling from overseas, the number is +61 2 6216 3440.
If you can’t apply online or over the phone, you can apply using a downloadable form ‘Application for a director identification number’ (NAT 75329). This is a slower process and you will also need to provide certified copies of your documents to verify your identity.
