What is an AVC ID and why does it matter?
An AVC ID (Access Virtual Circuit Identifier) is a unique code that identifies your nbn® connection.
Every nbn service has its own AVC ID. It’s a 15-character code that starts with AVC, followed by 12 numbers. For example, ‘AVC123456789100’.
If your service is on the Opticomm network, you’ll have an OAC ID instead. It works the same way, just with different letters.
Why does this matter?
From April 2025, nbn® requires you to provide your AVC ID in some cases, like when you’re switching providers and taking over an existing connection.
It helps:
- Confirm you’re authorised to transfer the service
- Avoid delays or incorrect disconnections
- Identify the right connection when there are multiple services at the same address
Only you and your provider can see your AVC ID. This helps protect your service from being transferred without your authorisation.
How to find your AVC ID
If you’re already with Node One, here’s where to look:
1. On your invoice
The AVC ID will be displayed against the applicable service, with the plan.
2.a Residential customers: ‘My Account’
- Log in to My Account
- AVC ID can be located under ‘Service Details’.
2.b Business customers: ‘My Account’
- Log in to My Account
- AVC ID can be found with ‘Other Service Details’, against the Business Broadband Link
If you’re with another provider
Check your invoice or online account near your service address.
When signing up with Node One, we’ll require the full AVC or OAC ID.
You can find your AVC or OAC ID:
- On your invoice, or in the customer/business portal if you’re already with us
- Or in your current provider’s online account or invoice if you’re switching to Node One
