Parameters only when verifying from Australia

Include these parameters only when verifying the company as a reporting entity in Australia. If your business is not a reporting entity for AML/CTF purposes in Australia, and the verification is not required for compliance with Australian AML/CTF laws and regulations, you may omit these fields entirely.

NameTypeDescription
ARBNstringThe Australian Registered Body Number (ARBN) is a unique, nine-digit identifier issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to foreign companies or registrable Australian bodies that operate in Australia. It is used to identify these entities, which may not require an Australian Company Number (ACN) but still need to be registered to conduct business legally within the country.
