UA OP Variation and Changes to Legal Identity

In plain language

If your company's Unique Entity Number (UEN) changes, you cannot simply update your existing UA Operator Permit (UA OP); you must apply for a brand new permit. If only the company name changes but the UEN stays the same, you can submit a variation with an updated ACRA BizFile.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that if an operator's Unique Entity Number (UEN) changes, a variation to the existing UA OP is not permitted, and the operator must apply for a new UA OP instead.

Original regulatory text

For a change in the operator name but without a change in the unique entity number (UEN), the updated ACRA BizFile will also be required for submission. If there is a change in the UEN, a variation to the UA OP is not allowed as there is a change in legal identity. The operator should apply for a new UA OP instead.
