Keeping director information updated

Every corporation and the Registrar need to keep a record of director appointments and the personal details of each director. 

Director personal details are:

  • first and last names
  • former names (if any)
  • date of birth
  • place of birth
  • home address (and alternative address, if this applies)
  • director ID or the fact they don’t have a director ID.

Responsibilities for updating records

Directors must tell their corporation/s their personal details within 14 days of being appointed or a change to their details.

Corporations must notify us within 28 days of changes to their directors or if a director’s details change.

Tell us when a director or alternate director:

  • is appointed
  • is reappointed for another term
  • ends their appointment
  • changes their personal details.

Notify us online about changes to corporation officers' details or you can use this form.

Alternative addresses

Directors can give an alternative address in place of a home address to go on the public view of the corporations register if: 

  • their name is on the electoral roll but not their address because of issues of personal safety 
  • the Registrar grants an exemption in writing because their safety or their family’s would be at risk. 

An alternative address must be a place where a court document could be served.
