I just got a letter from ASIC saying my business was reinstated. When I go through the process to re-register my ABN, every time I get stuck on the page where I put in my ACN and company TFN. It says "your identity has not been confirmed" and won't let me continue the process. Please help!

Hi @Vix3333,


Once your company has been reinstated by ASIC, it's treated as if it had never been deregistered. Your ABN should be automatically reactivated in our systems – you don't need to re-register for a new ABN.


You can check if your ABN has been reactivated by searching for it on ABN Lookup. If your ABN shows as active, you should be able to access it through ATO online services for business.


If your ABN isn't showing as active yet contact the Australian Business Register. They can confirm whether the reinstatement has been processed and help with next steps.
