Changing registration details
What do I need to do?
Any person in the business of electrical contracting or offering to contract must be registered as an electrical contractor.
At ESV, we know that a registration will change from time to time, therefore, in order to change your registration, we provide the following information to help you. Most changes are now available via our Online Services, however, you must scan and attach the requested documentation in order for the Online request to be successful.
Adding or changing a nominee
You can request the change of nominee via Online Services as a Registered Electrical Contractor, by electronically scanning and attaching the required supporting evidence and Consent Declaration, or alternatively, are required to:
- Send ESV a letter, fax or email (on letterhead, where possible) which details, which nominee is to be removed and your nominated replacement or additional nominee.
- All other evidence as per the relevant Consent Declaration, is applicable and must be provided.
Adding a business name
Send ESV a letter, fax or email (on letterhead, where possible) which details the change to the registration, includes a copy of the Business Name Certificate and provides a copy of your updated insurance Certificate of Currency, which correctly reflects the business name:

Changing the applicant (the responsible person) for the registration
Send ESV a letter, fax or email (on letterhead, where possible) which details the person who is now responsible for the registration, including their date of birth dd/mm/yyyy. Your information should indicate the previous applicant is to be removed and the replacement person. Not sure who your responsible person is? You can check this online, by using Online Services.
Changing the type of registration
Changing the registration type of your registration, has several matters which you also must consider:
- Do I need to update my ABN?
- Do I need to update my stationery or vehicles?
- Do I need to update my insurance details?
Changing to a Partnership?
Send ESV a letter, fax or email (on letterhead, where possible) which details the change to the registration, which should also include, the partners names, address, updated Certificate of Currency.
Once the change has been approved, you will be forwarded an updated registration card. However, you must return your original registration card, in order for us to send you the new one.
Changing to a Corporation (Company)?
Send ESV a letter, fax or email (on letterhead, where possible) which requests the change to the registration. In order to change to a Corporation, we do require a little more information, which is as follows:
- ASIC Extract which provides information on the Directors & Secretary of the Company Updated Certificate of Incorporation for the Company.
- Update Certificate of Currency/Insurance Evidence.
- The change to a Corporation must be signed by Director or Secretary of the Company, or alternatively a suitably authorised person to act on the Director’s behalf. This information, must include acknowledgment of the following:
By changing to a Corporation or applying as a Company, the registration number allocated will remain with the company and the ACN to which it has applied or is updated for. It can only be continued as a result of Changing the Company Name, and retaining the same ACN. It cannot be transferred between different company names.
Therefore it is required by ESV that this condition applied on Corporation Registration is noted by all Electrical Contractors.
