Request an Australian ISIN
ASX will allocate ISINs for securities of Australian issuers that are listed on ASX, debt securities issued in Austraclear, CHESS Depository Interests (CDI) and CHESS eligible securities of Australian issuers that are listed on other Australian financial markets. The ISIN will be allocated as part of our current services. It is not necessary to request an ISIN for these securities.
ASX has appointed APIR Systems Limited to allocate ISINs on its behalf for Australian unlisted collective investment products (including mFund). Requests for ISINs for these products may be made directly to APIR Systems Limited.
For all other Australian-issued financial instruments ISINs, send the completed application form to ISINS.AU@asx.com.au. An ISIN Code Creation fee per ISIN is payable at the time of making the application.

International securities identification number (ISIN) Codes
The International Standards Organisation (ISO) has provided a standard (ISO 6166) for the numbering of securities. This standard is intended for use in any application in the trading and administration of securities.
The ISIN is a code which uniquely identifies a specific securities' issue.
The ISIN consists of:
- a prefix which is a 2 character alpha country code.
- a 9 character code which identifies the security.
- a check character computed using the modulus 10 formula.
This is an excel file of the complete ISIN directory for ASX listed companies. This file is updated on the first Friday of each month, unless that day is also the first day of the month. In this case, the file will be updated on the following Friday.
