Register for creditor bankruptcy notices

You must register for our Online Services to apply for a bankruptcy notice. You can choose to register your organisation or as an individual user.

Organisation

To access Creditor bankruptcy notices online services on behalf of an organisation, you need a Digital Identity linked to the ABN in Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM).

Digital Identity is a safe, secure and convenient way of proving who you are when you want to access services online. Set it up once, and then reuse it whenever you are asked to prove who you are. One of the benefits is that you don’t need to remember passwords. myGovID is the Australian Government’s Digital Identity app.

Once you’ve created your Digital Identity, you need to link it to an ABN using RAM. RAM is an authorisation service that allows you to act on behalf of a business online when linked with your Digital Identity, like myGovID.

How you link will depends on your role:

• principal authority – person responsible for the organisation
• authorised administrator or user - is someone who acts on behalf of an entity. To learn more about the Australian Government Digital Identity System, refer to the Digital Identity website.

To access the service with your Digital Identity:

• Select Login
• Select Continue with Digital Identity
• Select myGovID as your Identity app. You will need a Standard strength Digital Identity.
• After authenticating, you'll be redirected back to Creditor bankruptcy notices
• Enter your user/organisation details

Once you complete these steps, you will have successfully created and be logged in to your Creditor bankruptcy notices online services account.

Note: the first person in your organisation who logs on to Creditor bankruptcy notices using Digital Identity will be assigned to the Administrator and Manager roles. Any subsequent person who logs on after the administrator will be assigned to the Manager role. As an administrator, you can execute restricted activities such as update your organisation details and manage other user accounts within Creditor bankruptcy notices. As a manager, you can submit and maintain bankruptcy notice applications.

Individual user

If you do not work for an organisation with an ABN you will need to register to use the online service as an individual user. This requires you to set up a username and password account.

Protecting your identity and preventing identity theft is important to us. For this reason, after registering, you will need to prove your identity to gain full access to online services.

The online proof of identity service allows you to securely submit your identity details for verification. You must complete a 60-point identification check.

Step 1 - Register as an individual user

In the top right-hand side of the creditor bankruptcy notices login page, click the 'Register as a individual' link.

Complete the required fields and select “Register”.

You will be given the option to proceed to complete your proof of identity or defer to a later time. If you choose to defer this, you may draft and save applications, but you won’t be able to submit them until your identity is verified. A link will be available on your online dashboard for you to compete your proof of identity at any time.

Step 2 – Prove your identity

Choose your identity documents to submit from the below list of primary identity documents to meet the 60-point check. Then submit your proof of identity using the online proof of identity service.

Once your identity has been verified, you can proceed to draft, save and submit applications.
