TFN application service available now with Australia Post
People can now apply for their Tax File Number (TFN) online and authenticate their proof of identity documents at participating Australia Post retail outlets.
Australian residents aged 16 years and older can apply for a TFN at www.ato.gov.au/TFNapply and lodge their application form at a participating Australia Post retail outlet.
"With over 709,000 TFNs registered last year, this new partnership with Australia Post is making the TFN process simpler and easier," ATO Deputy Commissioner David Diment said.
"It's as simple as completing your TFN application online at www.ato.gov.au/TFNapply, printing out your application summary and taking it to the post office.
"Australia Post will authenticate your proof of identity documents on behalf of the ATO."
Over 230 participating Australia Post retail outlets nationally will provide the service from February, with a total of 475 outlets to offer the service by end June 2013. A full list can be viewed on our website.
Current paper TFN application forms available via newsagents around the country are not accepted as part of the Australia Post service. You can visit the ATO website to find out more about applying for a TFN.
