The licensees, and who they authorise

6,904 licence numbers appear in this register. 4,474 of them are named in ASIC's current AFS Licensee dataset; 2,430 are not, and carry 103,074 authorisations between them.

Why a licensee without a name still matters

A page here needs a name to be worth reading, so only named licensees get one. But the 2,430 unnamed numbers are not hidden: they appear on every entry that cites them, marked, with the plain statement that the number is not in ASIC's current file.

That is the honest version. We have no cancellation dates, so we do not write “cancelled” — but a licence that has left the current file is the situation in which an AFCA determination can go unpaid. What follows from that.

The 332 licensees with a page

A licensee gets a page once it has granted at least 60 authorisations. The rest stay searchable through the representatives themselves.
