The corporate key is an eight-digit number uniquely associated with a company’s ACN. If you are lodging this form in paper, you must include your corporate key on the form or ASIC will be unable to update your record. You will find your corporate key on the front page of your annual statement. Please contact ASIC if you cannot locate your corporate key, or if you believe you have not been issued with one.
On the appointment of a new registered agent, the company’s existing corporate key is cancelled (if not already done so), a new corporate key is generated and sent to the new registered agent.
On the cessation of a registered agent the corporate key is cancelled for the company. You must go to www.asic.gov.au/corporatekey or contact ASIC to have a new corporate key issued.
