How to Check an Australian Financial Services Licence

A practical guide to matching a provider’s legal identity and claimed services with ASIC’s professional registers.

Collect the exact details

Ask for the legal entity name, ABN or ACN, AFS licence number and the service being offered. A trading name alone may not identify the responsible entity.

Search and compare

Use ASIC’s Professional Registers. Match the number, legal name, status, authorised services and representatives. Follow contact details from an independent source if you need confirmation.

What a licence does not mean

A licence is not an ASIC endorsement and does not guarantee performance, safety or suitability. It also does not automatically cover every product, website or related entity.
