There are no changes to ASIC lodgements. After a director is appointed, the director will need to apply for their own director ID. Learn more.

If you're a:

• New company director (appointed after October 2021)—from 1 November 2021, you need to apply for a director ID within 28 days of when you're appointed, including new company registrations. From 5 April 2022, you need to have a director ID prior to your appointment.
• Existing company director (appointed before November 2021)—you need to have a director ID by 1 November 2022.
• CATSI company director—you have extended timeframes. Learn more.
• ASIC agent—you don't need a director ID.

See the ABRS website to learn more.

You can create a report to find the director associations. To learn how to run the report, see our help page.

If you only use MYOB Practice, you can record the director ID:

1. Go to Contacts > Contact list and select a client by clicking anywhere in the client’s row to view their details on the same page.

2. Click Edit ().

3. Scroll down to Director ID and enter the details

4. Click Save.

If you use MYOB AE/AO and MYOB Practice, you can record the ID in a new Extra field in MYOB AE/AO for director IDs, and it's shared to Corporate Admin. We released this update in version 5.4.41. To learn how to enter a director ID in AE/AO, check our help page.

You can use task templates to communicate the requirements with directors.

<h2><i class="fa fa-comments"></i>&nbsp;&nbsp;FAQs for director IDs</h2>

When you're at step 2 (appointing a director) and step 5 (reviewing the form) of registering a company, you can see an existing contact's director ID number.

You can also see the director ID in a directorcontact's client details.

All of our MYOB software is still compliant. In the future, there might be changes to ASIC registers as they're migrated to the ABRS. We're working with government to optimise these changes for industry. Learn more.

Not yet. ABRS haven't built out this functionality, but plan to in the future.

You can let directors know that ABRS have three ways to apply:

• online (with their myGovID)
• over the phone
• through a paper application.
