Complete this transaction when you want to directly inform ASIC that a company officeholder has resigned or retired.
You will need to sign in to your online account before you begin.
Director resignations that took place more than 28 days ago will have the effective date of the director resignation replaced with the lodgement date of this form.
If you are resigning a person both as a director and secretary, this may result in two different cessation dates on our registers.
If notification of a director resignation would leave the company without a current director, the lodgment will be rejected unless the company is being wound up.
You must have a copy of the officeholder's resignation letter.
