1. Agree to the Electronic Lodgement Protocol and select the type of account you want to create

Before creating an account, you'll need to agree to ASIC's Electronic Lodgement Protocol.

You then select company officeholder.

You must create a new account for each role you hold. For example, if you are a company officeholder and an auditor, you need to create two accounts.

2. Enter your unique ASIC number

You'll need to provide your unique ASIC number. This is your corporate key. If you don't have your corporate key, you can request one online. It will be sent to your company's registered office.

Once all details have been entered, select 'Next'.

3. Select a username and password for your account

Select a username and password that'll be used to log in to your account. We recommend selecting something easy to remember for your username.

Your password must:

• be at least eight characters and at most sixteen characters and
• contain one lowercase letter (a-z), one uppercase letter (A-Z), and one number (0-9). 

4. Select a security question and answer

You'll also need to provide a security question and answer. If you forget your username or password, we'll ask your security question. Make sure you select something that you can remember.

If you can't answer your security question, you'll have to create another online account.

Once you've entered all details, select 'Next'.

5. Verify your new username and password

A pop-up box will appear and ask you to verify your details. Enter your newly created username and password and select 'OK'.

6. Provide your contact details

You'll then be asked to provide a contact email address and phone number. ASIC will send correspondence (including your company annual statement) to your online inbox.

Once you've entered all details, select 'Next'.

7. Complete declaration and submit application

Answer the declaration and select 'Submit' to complete your application.

You'll then see a screen confirming your request has been submitted. When you select 'Next', your account will be activated.
