Hi ATO,
my wife has applied TFN on 4th of June by filling out application online and printing the application and applying through Auspost. We’ve been waiting since then and haven’t received any letter from auspost regarding TFN. I’ve tried ringing ATO yesterday and they’ve confirmed me that nothing such application has been received.
Can you please advise should I apply for another TFN online is that going to be an issue.
Hi @joshisubodh22,
By the sounds of it we should've received that by now, unless something went wrong sending it to us. We generally don't advise applying twice as it won't speed up the process. However, as you've already spoken to us and we haven't received it by now, I would recommend applying again. It shouldn't cause any issues submitting another application as we'll still only send out one TFN.
If you have an Australian passport you might want to apply for your TFN online.

Can you please double check and confirm if my wife's TFN has progressed any further.
Thanks,

Hi @joshisubodh22,
Unfortunately we dont have access to account information via our forum. You can check out what to do from here if 28days have passed since applying for your TFN. You can also follow the advice from @EthanATO's previous response.
