Step 2 – Gather your documents
Once you have your myGovID, you need some more information to apply for a director ID. This information must relate to you personally, not the company you work for.
If you have a myGovID with aStrongidentity strength, you only need to provideoneof the following:
- your individual tax file number (TFN)
- your residential address as held by the ATO.
If you have a myGovID with aStandardidentity strength, you need to provide:
- your individual TFN – optional but it will help speed up the process
- your residential address as held by the ATO
- information from 2 of the following documents to verify your identity, including:
- bank account details the ATO has on record – most likely where you’ve received a tax return refund in the last 2 years
- an ATO notice of assessment
- Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) super fund account details including super fund's Australian business number (ABN). Note: Self-managed super fund details are not accepted
- a dividend statement
- a Centrelink payment summary
- a PAYG payment summary – this is different to your income statement or your PAYG instalment activity statement.
