## Usage notes

- Costs one credit per query.
- Searches official ASIC and TPB register snapshots across 7 datasets: financial advisers, AFS licensees, consumer credit licensees, registered company auditors, registered liquidators, ASIC banned and disqualified persons, and TPB tax practitioners.
- Results show published fields, dataset snapshot date and a link to the live register.
- A name match is not proof of identity, and a no-match is not clearance. TPB snapshots do not include conditions or sanctions; confirm in the live TPB profile.
