What is a securities AFSL?

A securities AFSL is an Australian Financial Services Licence that ASIC has authorised to provide financial services in relation to securities including shares, bonds, debentures, stapled securities and managed investment interests treated as securities. The securities register listed here shows every AFSL holder authorised for securities activities, with the AFSL number, registered state, status and licence conditions visible on each record.

What a securities licence covers

A securities AFSL typically covers issuing, applying for, acquiring, varying or disposing of securities, and dealing in or advising on securities. The exact authorisations on any specific securities licence are set out in the AFSL conditions — open a record to review them in full.

Who typically holds a securities AFSL

stockbrokers, investment banks, securities dealers, online brokers and AFSL-authorised advisers are the most common securities AFSL holders. Authorised representatives operating under those licensees also appear in the AFS Representatives register and can be looked up alongside their licensee.

Who needs a securities AFSL

Any Australian business that deals in securities, advises retail or wholesale clients on securities, or makes a market in securities generally needs a securities AFSL, unless an exemption applies.

How to use this securities AFSL search

Every row in the securities register below is a clickable securities AFSL record. You can refine the securities AFSL search by state, paginate through the results, or open a licensee detail page to see the full securities licence record.

Search by securities licensee name

Type the business name into the global AFSL search box to run a securities licensee lookup across the AFSL register and any matching credit, DCE or remittance records held by the same entity.

Search by AFSL number, ABN or ACN

If you already have a securities licensee's AFSL number, ABN or ACN, the global search box accepts all four identifiers and resolves to the matching securities AFSL record. Useful for verifying a securities AFSL by its unique number.

Filter the securities register by state

Use the state filter above the table to narrow the securities AFSL register to a specific Australian jurisdiction — handy when you need a securities licensee that operates in a particular state or territory.

About the securities register data

Source and refresh of the securities register

Securities data is normalised from the public ASIC AFSL register. Licence status, conditions and authorisations are mirrored as ASIC publishes them — we do not edit or override regulator decisions on any securities AFSL.

Officially verifying a securities AFSL

For any high-stakes confirmation of a securities AFSL — onboarding, KYC, counterparty checks — always verify on ASIC Connect. AFSL Search is an independent lookup tool and is not the official securities register.
