Reserve a company name — all online instantly

Reserving a company name with ASIC is easy through Cleardocs. You can use Cleardocs to lodge the Form 410 "Reserve a company name" with ASIC electronically. There is no need to lodge anything by hand any more. The Cleardocs fee is $22 (inc GST) and the ASIC fees are $40.

You'll receive the reservation number by email immediately.

Reserving the company name does not register the company. But you can register a company online through Cleardocs here.

You don't need to reserve the name before you register a company - but you can if you want to.

What is included in the Cleardocs Company Name Reservation package?

For the Company Name Reservation package we don't send you any documents. Instead, we reserve the company name at ASIC for you. However, once the company name is reserved:

  • you can log in on Cleardocs and see the ASIC letter showing the company name is reserved — you can print the letter if you want to; and
  • you can search the name on ASIC's website www.asic.gov.au and see that the company name is reserved.
