About AFSL Search — your Australian licence lookup tool
Independent. Free. Built for fast, comprehensive Australian financial licence research.
AFSL Search is a free, independent AFSL lookup and register check tool for the Australian Financial Services Licence regime. We aggregate the public ASIC AFSL register, the Australian Credit Licence register, the AUSTRAC Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) register and the AUSTRAC remittance provider register into one fast search experience. Whether you need a quick AFSL number lookup, a deeper AFSL registration status check, or a broader licence search across multiple regulators, our search box handles names, AFSL numbers, ABNs and ACNs in a single query.
Why use this AFSL search
The standard ASIC AFSL register requires you to pick the right form, know the exact number, and click through several screens. Our AFSL search is built for speed: type-as-you-go suggestions, instant filtering by state and AFSL category, and a clean licence detail view with all the conditions and authorisations visible at once. Because the same AFSL search box also covers credit licences, DCE registrations and remittance providers, you can run a single AFSL check on a company and instantly see every Australian financial registration it holds — without bouncing between the ASIC AFSL register, the AUSTRAC DCE register and the AUSTRAC remittance register.
What you can do here
You can run an AFSL search by company name, AFSL number, ABN or ACN. You can browse the full AFSL register filtered by activity category — including securities, derivatives, foreign exchange, CFDs, superannuation, managed investments, insurance, deposit products, custodial services, non-cash payments, crowdfunding, credit and lending, and claims handling. You can verify an AFSL registration is still current, review the licence conditions attached to an AFSL, check whether a representative is authorised under a current AFSL, and subscribe to free monitoring so you receive an email the moment an AFSL registration is granted, suspended, varied or cancelled. Every AFSL check is free, every AFSL lookup is anonymous, and our register data is refreshed monthly from the official public sources.
AFSL search FAQ
Common questions about running an AFSL search, AFSL lookup or AFSL registration check on this site.
How do I do an AFSL search?
Enter a company name, AFSL number, ABN or ACN in the search box above to run an AFSL search across the full Australian Financial Services Licence register. Results show the licensee name, AFSL number, status, registered state, and licence conditions where available. You can also browse the AFSL register directly from the AFSL listing page or filter by activity category.
Is this AFSL lookup free?
Yes — every AFSL search, AFSL lookup and AFSL check on this site is free, with no signup or login required. We also include free coverage of credit licences, Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) registrations and remittance provider registrations in the same search box.
What's the difference between this AFSL search and the official ASIC register?
AFSL Search is an independent AFSL lookup tool built on top of the public ASIC AFSL register data. We do not replace the official ASIC register — for high-stakes verification you should still confirm directly via ASIC Connect. What we add is a faster AFSL search experience, category browsing, AFSL number lookup by ABN, and free change monitoring.
How often is the AFSL register data updated?
The AFSL register snapshot on this site is refreshed monthly from the public ASIC dataset. The footer of each page shows the current data update date. For real-time tracking, our free monitoring service emails you the moment a licensee's AFSL registration status changes.
Can I check an AFSL registration by ABN or ACN?
Yes — the AFSL search box accepts ABN, ACN, company name or AFSL number. If a company holds an AFSL registration we match it across any of these identifiers, and we link related representatives and authorisations attached to the same AFSL record.
What information does an AFSL check show?
An AFSL check on this site typically shows the licensee name, AFSL number, current licence status (current, cancelled or suspended), state of registration, issue date, licence conditions, authorised activity categories, and where available the responsible managers and authorised representatives associated with the AFSL.
