If you run a company, your company details may occasionally change. For example, there may be alterations to your directors or shareholders, or your company may move to a new office location.
If changes like these occur within your company, you are required by law to notify ASIC within 28 days of the change. Staying on top of these updates is crucial for maintaining your company’s legal compliance.
Previously, companies could notify ASIC of these changes by using the paper Form 484. However, as of November 2015, ASIC ceased accepting paper forms for changes to company details, and this method is no longer available in 2025.
All changes to company details are now required to be submitted online. This digital process provides a more convenient lodgement system, available 24 hours a day. One effective way to change your details online is by using ASIC’s online form manager. For additional clarity on compliance and regulatory updates, check out our article on what regulations affect your corporation.
To change your company’s details via ASIC online, you will need to:
- Register for online services.
- Log into ASIC online with your Australian Company Number (ACN), username and password.
- Select and submit a new Change to Company Details form.
Read on for more details about changing your company’s details using ASIC online and the steps you’ll need to take.
1. Register For ASIC Online Services
To make the registration process smoother, ensure you have your ABN, ACN and corporate key handy before you begin. It might also help to review our guide on company set-up and operating as a sole trader if you are still clarifying your business structure.
To register, follow these steps:
- Go to ASIC’s sign up page.
- On the first page, check that you agree to ASIC’s Electronic Lodgement Protocol and choose the basis on which you are applying (for example, registering as a company officeholder).
- Enter your company’s information, including your ABN, ACN and corporate key. You will also need to provide your personal details if you are registering as an officeholder.
- Set your username and password, and also establish your security question. Remember, security is paramount when managing your business online, so avoid using passwords you’ve used elsewhere.
- Read and acknowledge that you have reviewed the annual statement package declaration – a legal declaration, so ensure you understand the terms.
- Submit and confirm your application.
You will now be registered for online access. Check your inbox (and your spam folder, just in case) for a confirmation email sent to the address you provided.
2. Login To ASIC Online
To log in to ASIC online, you will need your company’s ACN, along with your chosen username and password.

3. Submit A ‘Change To Company Details’ Form
ASIC online allows you to process a range of changes by submitting forms. To update your company’s details, complete the ‘Change to Company Details’ form by following these steps:
- Select the Start new form option from the left-hand side menu.

- Choose the relevant subsections that apply (such as Address, Appointment or Cease officeholder) and click Next at the bottom of the screen.
- Enter the required information on the next page and click Next to review your entries.
- Confirm the details of your change if prompted.
- Once the form has been completed, you can submit it by clicking on Yes and Submit next to the ‘Electronic Lodgement Protocol Declaration’.
Important: If you do not wish to submit the form immediately, click Validate Now under Submit Later to save your progress.
If you choose Yes and Submit, your form will be sent to ASIC and processed accordingly. Once processed, your updated company details will be reflected on ASIC online.
