How to Change Your Business Address on ASIC & ABN (Step-by-Step Guide for 2025)

Updated October 2025 | By Salt Space Coworking – New Farm, Brisbane

If you’ve recently moved, rebranded, or upgraded to a Virtual Office in Brisbane, you’ll need to update your business address on the ASIC and ABN registers.

Failing to update these details can lead to missed mail, non-compliance penalties, and mismatched information that can confuse Google or your clients. This step-by-step guide explains exactly how to change your registered business address — and how to make sure your updates are accepted the first time.

⚖️ Why It’s Important to Keep Your ASIC and ABN Address Updated

Both ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission) and the Australian Business Register (ABR) require you to maintain an accurate business address. This ensures your company is contactable for:

📄 Legal notices and compliance letters.
💼 Business name renewals and ASIC invoices.
💰 ATO and government correspondence.
🔍 Public record visibility (your address appears on ASIC’s online register).

If you’re currently using a home address, remember that it becomes publicly visible. A Virtual Office gives you a professional Brisbane address that meets all ASIC and ABN requirements while protecting your privacy.

🏢 How to Update Your Address with ASIC

If your business is registered with ASIC, you can update your address online through the ASIC Connect portal. Here’s how:

Go to asic.gov.au and click “Log in to ASIC Connect”.
Log in using your ASIC Connect account details.
Select your business name or company from the dashboard.
Choose “Change address” under the transaction options.
Enter your new address exactly as shown on your permission document (for Salt Space members, this includes your unique office number).
Review and confirm your changes.
Submit — ASIC updates are usually processed immediately.

Tip: If your business name is registered to an individual, you’ll need to update both your principal place of business and service of documents address.

📝 How to Update Your Address with the ABN Register

For the Australian Business Number (ABN), you’ll need to use the Australian Business Register (ABR) website or your myGovID account.

Go to the Australian Business Register.
Select “Update your ABN details”.
Log in using your myGovID or AUSkey credentials.
Locate your business name and select “Update address details.”
Enter your new business address (use the same address shown on your Virtual Office permission letter).
Submit your changes — updates usually appear on ABN Lookup within 24 hours.

Remember: the ABR must show a physical address, not a PO Box. Salt Space provides a real Brisbane street address with written consent for use on ASIC, ABN, and IP Australia registrations.

🔗 Keep Your Address Consistent Everywhere

After you’ve updated your ASIC and ABN records, make sure to change your address anywhere else it appears:

Google Business Profile (with video verification support at Salt Space)
Your website and contact page
Invoices, packaging, and email signatures
Social media profiles
ATO, bank accounts, and insurance providers

Consistency across all platforms helps Google confirm that your business is legitimate and improves your local SEO ranking.

FAQs – Changing Your Business Address

Do I need to update both ASIC and ABN?

Yes. These are separate systems — ASIC controls business name records, while ABN details are managed by the Australian Business Register. Always update both.

Can I use a PO Box for ASIC or ABN?

No. Both ASIC and the ABR require a physical street address for your principal place of business. Salt Space’s Virtual Office provides written consent for use on both.

How long does it take for updates to appear?

ASIC changes are immediate, while ABN updates usually appear on the public register within 24 hours.

What if I also need to update my Google Business Profile?

Salt Space’s Virtual Office membership includes video verification support to help you update your Google Business listing quickly and correctly.
