Registered auditors, liquidators and licensees API

Browse ASIC's registers of company auditors, registered liquidators and legacy securities and futures licensees free, then purchase and read a register extract.

ASIC registers the professionals who audit companies and wind them up. A registered company auditor (RA) may sign off a company's financial report; a registered liquidator (RQ) may be appointed as liquidator, administrator or receiver under the Corporations Act 2001; an official liquidator (OQ) could take court-ordered liquidations until the role was abolished in 2017. ASIC also keeps the pre-2002 licence registers for investment advisers (IA), securities dealers (SD), futures brokers (FB) and futures dealers (FD). Three operations cover these registers: browse a register by family name, organisation name or number for free; purchase a register extract for one registration or licence number, which is the only billed step; and read the extract you hold, free, for 12 months. The extract carries registration details, practice addresses, firm and trading names, company roles held, suspensions, conditions and, for liquidators, disciplinary action documents. The purchasing guide explains the model.

Browse a register

Browse returns a list of register entry summaries matching a name prefix or an exact registration or licence number. It is free and never billed.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`object`	string	Always `registerEntry`. The browse endpoint returns the summary form of the same object; this endpoint returns the full form read from your extract.
`register`	object	The register requested, `{ code, label }`.
`number`	string	The registration or licence number requested.
`extract`	object	The extract this response was read from: `id`, `type` (`current`), `purchasedAt`, `asOf`.
`registration`, `addresses[]`, `tradingNames[]`, `officeRoles[]`, `suspensions[]`, `conditions[]`, `disciplinaryDocuments[]`, `pairedRegistration`, `disclaimerText`	sections	Identical to the sections of the purchase response above.
`meta`	object	Reads are free: `billable` is `false` and `product` is `null`.

Errors

Code	HTTP status	Applies to	When
`register_invalid`	400	All	`{register}` is not one of RA, RQ, OQ, IA, SD, FB, FD. Insurance broker registers (IF, IG, IL) are listed by ASIC but cannot be browsed or extracted.
`browse_key_too_short`	400	Browse	`name` has fewer than two characters.
`validation_error`	422	Browse, purchase, read	Neither `name` nor `number` was supplied, or both were; the purchase body is not valid JSON or `history` is not a boolean; or `extract` is malformed.
`extract_type_invalid`	400	Purchase	`history` is `true` for a register that has no historical extract.
`no_matches`	404	Browse, purchase	No entries found for the browse key, or no registration with that number on that register.
`extract_required`	402	Read	You hold no register extract for this number. `details.purchase` carries the POST that would satisfy the request; see below.
`extract_not_found`	404	Read	The `extract` query parameter names an extract that does not exist, is for a different entry or is not a register extract.
`extract_expired`	410	Read	The extract is more than 12 months old. Purchase again.
`extract_owner_mismatch`	403	Read	The extract named by `extract` was purchased under a different account.
`product_unavailable_in_jurisdiction`	403	Purchase	Register extracts are not enabled for your account's jurisdiction.
`idempotency_conflict`	409	Purchase	The `Idempotency-Key` was already used with a different request.
`asic_unavailable`	503	Browse, purchase	The ASIC database is offline. Reads of extracts you hold are unaffected.

Notes from the ASIC register

Browse, purchase, read. Browsing is free, the POST is the only step ASIC charges for, and every read of the resulting extract is free for 12 months. A read never refreshes the data; to see changes lodged since extract.asOf, purchase again and the read endpoint switches to the new extract automatically. See the purchasing guide.
Browse keys match the start of a name. The browse key is compared against the beginning of the family name or organisation name, so SM returns Smith, Smyth and Smallwood alike. Former names are included and flagged with isFormerName, which means the same registration number can appear more than once in a result set.
Registration numbers versus licence numbers. Registered auditors, registered liquidators and official liquidators have registration numbers. Investment advisers, securities dealers, futures brokers and futures dealers have licence numbers. Both are passed in the {number} path segment.
No historical extract. The professional registers offer a current extract only, which already includes ceased addresses, trading names and office roles. history in the purchase body is accepted for consistency with the authorised representatives registers and must be false here.
Paired extracts. Purchasing an SD extract also returns the IA licence if the licensee holds both, and vice versa; the same applies to FB and FD. The partner appears in pairedRegistration. You are charged one register extract regardless, and the read endpoint for either number returns the same extract.
Address order. Addresses are supplied in the sequence postal address (PS), principal place of practice (PA), other place of practice (OP). Postal addresses are only recorded for registered and official liquidators (RQ, OQ).
Firm or practice name, not both. Trading records are supplied in the sequence firm (FI), trading name (TN), practice name (PN). Firm details are recorded for RQ and OQ; practice names only for RQ. A registered liquidator will have either firm details or a practice name, never both.
Role order and scheme roles. Office roles are ordered DR, EO, SR, AA, FE, RN, TN, CA, and within each role current records precede ceased records, which are in reverse chronological order of ceasing. For responsible entity (RN), temporary responsible entity (TN) and compliance plan auditor (CA) roles, organisation is the managed investment scheme (ARSN and scheme name) rather than a company. See managed investment schemes.
Permanent suspensions. When a suspension is permanent, permanent is true and to is null. When it is not permanent, permanent is false and to carries the end date.
Conditions and discipline are liquidator features. ASIC records conditions and disciplinary action documents for registered liquidators (RQ). The disciplinary documents cover the current period of registration only. A document whose ASIC page count is zero has imaged: false and cannot be ordered as an image.
Official liquidators are winding down. The role of official liquidator ceased by operation of law on 1 March 2017. OQ registrations remain current until all court liquidations the person was appointed to at that date are finalised.
Disclaimer. When registration.disclaimer is true, ASIC requires the unprocessed-documents notice to be shown with the extract. The text is provided in disclaimerText so you can render it verbatim.
Sandbox. Test keys return placeholder names such as "FAMILY NAME, GIVEN NAME1", the purchase succeeds with meta.billable set to false, and the extract is stored and readable as in production. See sandbox.
