# Australia Company Data – Place of Birth

> Australian director place of birth is now returned in a dedicated placeOfBirthField. The nationalityField will continue to carry the same value for a transition period before being deprecated for Australia.

## Overview

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) supplies a director's place of birth.

We have introduced a dedicated `placeOfBirthField` for Australia (ISO code AU). Place of birth is now returned in that field.

### 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.

## Enhanced Profile

`placeOfBirthField` is added to each director record. `nationalityField` is unchanged for now.

### Before

```json theme={null}
"directorsField": [
    {
        "titleField": "Director",
        "nameField": "HENRY FORD",
        "address1Field": "1 WILD DUCK DRIVE",
        "address2Field": "CAMS WHARF",
        "address3Field": "NSW",
        "birthdateField": "09/09/1976",
        "nationalityField": "LVIV UKRAINE",
        "appointedOnField": "3/10/2020 12:00:00 AM"
    }
]
```

### After

```json theme={null}
"directorsField": [
    {
        "titleField": "Director",
        "nameField": "HENRY FORD",
        "address1Field": "1 WILD DUCK DRIVE",
        "address2Field": "CAMS WHARF",
        "address3Field": "NSW",
        "birthdateField": "09/09/1976",
        "nationalityField": "LVIV UKRAINE",
        "appointedOnField": "3/10/2020 12:00:00 AM",
        "placeOfBirthField": "LVIV UKRAINE"
    }
]
```

### Key changes

* `placeOfBirthField` added, carrying the place of birth supplied by ASIC.
* `nationalityField` continues to return the same value during the transition period.

## Deprecation of nationalityField for Australia

What this means for your integration:

* Read place of birth from `placeOfBirthField`.
* Stop treating `nationalityField` as a nationality value for Australia.
* Expect `nationalityField` to be absent from Australian director records after December 31st 2026.

This change applies to Australia only. `nationalityField` is unaffected in other jurisdictions.
