Your business is long gone.
You resigned as a director years ago.
You’ve moved on.
But when someone Googles your name — boom — up comes your ASIC company record, or your old ABN listing.
And now:
- People think you’re still tied to that business
- Journalists are connecting dots and calling you
- Trolls or clients are using your details to dig deeper
- Your reputation is getting dragged by association
If you’re wondering “Can I get my name removed from ASIC or ABN search results?” — you’re in the right place.
At Reputation Station Australia, we help real people take back control from public records that just won’t go away.
🧠 Why Your Name Is Still Showing in ASIC or ABN Lookups
In Australia, business transparency laws mean that:
- ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission) maintains director records
- ABN Lookup (via the Australian Business Register) holds trading names and operator details
This includes:
- Your full legal name
- Dates of appointment or registration
- Past directorships
- Business addresses
- Even deregistered or inactive businesses
And once that data is out there, Google picks it up fast.
These records are:
- 🏛️ Legally public
- 🧠 Indexed by Google
- 🧾 Often republished on third-party sites
So even if you stepped away from the business in 2015… your name is still attached.
⚠️ The Real Risks of Having Your Name in ASIC or ABN Search Results
Let’s be honest — it’s not just about privacy.
This stuff can cause real damage, especially if:
- The company went into liquidation or administration
- You’ve since changed careers
- You’re applying for finance
- You’re in the public eye
- You’ve had online reputation issues
Clients in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and regional areas have told us things like:
“I left that company years ago, but Google still shows me as the director.”
“I’m being harassed by someone who found my old ABN listing.”
“The business failed, and now I can’t get a mortgage because of what comes up.”
“It’s causing tension in my family — people think I’m hiding something.”
It’s not fair. But it’s fixable.
🛠️ So Can You Actually Remove Your Name from ASIC or ABN Lookup?
Short answer?
Not easily — but yes, in many cases we can suppress, redact, or remove it from public view.
Here’s how:
1. 🔐 Removal or Redaction from ASIC Records (Case-by-Case)
ASIC won’t delete historical director records unless there’s a strong reason — but we’ve had success:
- Getting addresses redacted
- Getting outdated links de-indexed from Google
- Having names removed from third-party company lookup sites
2. ❌ Google De-Indexing for ABN/ASIC Records
Even if the listing must remain public, we can remove the Google search result linking to your name. This means people can’t find it through a simple name search.
We submit formal de-indexing requests to Google.com.au, backed by a privacy and harm justification — and we know what works.
3. 🧽 Suppressing Third-Party Business Directory Pages
Lots of ASIC/ABN data gets republished on aggregator sites like:
- Credit agencies
- B2B directories
- Shady database sites with no removal options
We go after these and remove or suppress them using a combination of:
- Takedown notices
- SEO suppression
- Privacy arguments
4. 📉 Reputation & Search Suppression Campaigns
Your name doesn’t have to be defined by a company that no longer exists.
We publish positive, high-authority content under your name — interviews, bios, features, achievements — and bury the old records deep in Google where no one sees them.
