When ready - simply press the 'Save & Send' button to complete this process.
The next step is for the director(s) to sign the form so that it can be submitted to ASIC for approval.

Once approved by ASIC, you should get an email from ASIC with a 'Certificate of Registration on Change of Name' - which will also be automatically saved and accessible via the company's documents tab.
If ASIC rejects the 205 form, you will also receive an email from ASIC explaining why it was rejected - which will also be automatically saved and accessible via the company's documents tab.
