AU Business Identity

Deterministic Australian business identifier validation for AI agents and applications.

Part of AU Agent Utilities.

What it does

AU Business Identity currently validates Australian:

• ABNs — Australian Business Numbers
• ACNs — Australian Company Numbers

Validation is performed locally using the official checksum rules.

It does not yet confirm whether an ABN or ACN is registered, active or associated with a particular entity.

Registry verification and Australian business lookup tools are planned next.
