Company directors are required by law to apply for a director identification number (director ID).

All companies must have at least one director; if a lodgement would cease the last director, then the lodgement may be rejected.

If a director’s cessation is lodged with ASIC more than 28 days after the cessation date, the cessation date will change to the lodgement date of the form.

To cease yourself as an officeholder, lodge a Form 370 Notification by officeholder of resignation or retirement.
