I'm an Australian resident residing overseas and would like to apply an ABN for consulting services for companies within Australia. I got some problems when filling out the online application form.


When I'm filling out the "Business Information" section. Main business location should be the overseas address that I'm situated or when I get my first client, then I put my client Aus address?


Because I'm not in Australia. And the online form also required Australian mobile number, again I'm not in Australia at the moment, how can I continue with this online application without Aus mobile no?


I couldn't find where I can contact when I have difficulty with this online form. Hope the community could help me please. And contact by phone is costly overseas and time issues.


Thank you so much and I appreciate any advice and information.

Hi @Lily_852


To apply for an ABN where you are not currently residing in Australia is a little different than the normal ABN application.

You will need to complete application for ABN for businesses outside Australia.

Here you will be able to provide your overseas address and contact number.
