How to apply for a DIN
Directors will need to apply online at https://www.abrs.gov.au/director-identification-number/apply-director-identification-number,
from November 2021 and will require a MyGovID (an app you download on your smart device, different from MyGov) to complete the application process.
For information on how to setup a MyGovID please go to https://www.mygovid.gov.au/set-up
When will a director need to apply for a DIN?
Transitional arrangements will allow directors to become familiar with the new requirement. When you need to have a director ID will depend on when you were appointed as a director.
