ASIC code tables reference
Every ASIC code table used in company, person and document data: office holder roles, organisation types and statuses, address types, register types, jurisdictions, scheme categories, summary types and form codes.
ASIC stores most attributes of a company, person or document as short codes. A director is role DR, a registered proprietary company is type APTY with status REGD, and a registered office is address type RG. asicapi returns every coded value as a { code, label } object so your integration is readable without a lookup, but you will still meet the raw codes when you filter requests, read older documents or reconcile against ASIC's own extracts.
These pages list every table from the ASIC Datastream specification with the meaning of each code and notes on how the codes behave in practice. The same tables are available as JSON from the code tables API.
