The Registrant data for all .com.au domains must include a valid business ID. Updates to the Registrant business ID data may include either transferring ownership or making a correction. If you wish to make a correction, open a support ticket from within your account to submit your request. If you wish to update the ABN/ACN or TM to effect a Change of Ownership, you will need to use the ".au Ownership" tab located in your domain settings and pay the registration fee for a new 2-year registration term.
If the registration number does not automatically authenticate, open a support ticket to request manual verification. Be sure to include the domain name and valid ABN/ACN or TM number.
