ASIC Registered Agent Number

Detects ASIC registered agent numbers used by agents who lodge company documents with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The number is a short (typically 3-6 digit) identifier issued to a registered agent and quoted on ASIC forms and lodgements.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium confidence: ASIC does not publish a fixed digit length for registered agent numbers (they are short numeric identifiers), so detection anchors on the "registered agent number" label plus a 3-6 digit value and requires corroborating ASIC lodgement keywords to separate agent numbers from other short numbers.

Should match

ASIC registered agent number 12345 lodged the annual review for the company — ASIC registered agent number with 5-digit value
Registered agent no. 4821 submitted Form 362 on behalf of the officeholder — Registered agent no. with abbreviated label and value
Registered agent code 30052 authorised for electronic lodgement via ASIC Connect — Registered agent code label with value
Our ASIC registered agent number is 08812 for all corporate filings this year — Registered agent number with "is" connector before value

Should not match

Please contact our registered agent for assistance with the lodgement — Registered agent phrase with no number label or value
The real estate agent number was not provided on the tenancy form — Non-ASIC agent number, not a registered agent number
Agent 007 reported for duty at the embassy this morning — Generic agent reference, not an ASIC registered agent number

Known false positives

A "registered agent number" label near an unrelated short number could match without being an ASIC agent number. Mitigation: Require corroborating ASIC lodgement keywords within the proximity window.
Sample agent numbers in ASIC form instructions or templates may match the labelled form. Mitigation: The high and medium tiers apply the template-exclusion NOT-group to suppress sample and template content.
