Every holder of an Australian credit licence, for each year it holds the licence. The certificate must be signed by the licensee itself if it is a natural person, by a person of a kind the regulations prescribe if it is a body corporate, or by a partner or trustee who performs duties relating to credit activities if it is a partnership or trust. Source

Validation rules

Public data

No published data from this return was found. No ASIC-published dataset or public-inspection right for the content of an individual certificate was confirmed from an allowed source this round; this was not re-checked against the National Consumer Credit Protection Act's own register and confidentiality provisions, which are separate from the Corporations Act's document-inspection rule.
