The introduction of director ID will create a fairer business environment by helping prevent the use of false and fraudulent director identities. This will go a long way to better identifying and eliminating director involvement in unlawful activity.

Shareholders, employees, creditors, consumers, external administrators and regulators are entitled to know the names and certain details of the directors of a company. All directors are required by law to verify their identity with us before receiving a director ID. This is important because it will help to:

• Prevent the use of false or fraudulent director identities
• Make it easier for external administrators and regulators to trace directors’ relationships with companies over time
• Identify and eliminate director involvement in unlawful activity, such as illegal phoenix activity

Check out this video series for step-by-step directions on how to get your Director ID number.
