Australia Company Data – Place of Birth

​

Overview

​

Key points

• New field: placeOfBirthField is now returned on each record in directorsField, carrying the value supplied by ASIC.
• No change to the value: the data returned is the same registry value, now in a correctly named field.
• Transition period: nationalityField will continue to return the same place-of-birth value until December 31st 2026, so existing integrations are not broken by this release.
• Deprecation: After December 31st 2026, nationalityField will no longer be populated for Australia. Move any dependency to placeOfBirthField before that date.
