Default ABN application - how long?

Hi,

Has anyone recently applied for an ABN number online, as a sole trader, and could please tell me their timeline?

I applied for ABN number last week as a Sole Trader a week ago. In the end of the online application it stated that manual checks with ATO is necessary. Is 1-2 weeks time realistic until I would receive my ABN number?

Thanks,
Andy

Thanks for your replies. Good to hear that you had it sorted within a couple of weeks. Shouldn't be too long then.

Cheers,
Andy

You can trade without the ABN, just wait until you get it to send invoices out

I got Hubby's sole trader ABN number, Instantly on line . Then they also posted it out a week later.
We then had to also get a joint ABN ( partnership) , When i completed it on line, it told me there were further checks needed, and they would be in touch. I received it a week later. We did all this 3mths ago.
