AFSL Licence Search

An Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) is issued by ASIC under the Corporations Act 2001 and authorises a business to provide financial services such as advice, dealing, or operating a managed investment scheme. The public register lists each licensee, their AFSL number, status and authorisations.

AFSL Search lets you browse and search these records in one place. For a plain-English explanation, see our guide on what an AFSL is.

Enter a company name or AFSL number to find the licensee, open the record to confirm the licence status, and review the authorisations to check the licence covers the service being offered. You can also look up the linked authorised representatives.

For important decisions, confirm details against ASIC's official register, as a licence's status can change over time.
