What is an AVC ID?

1 min. readlast update: 08.06.2025

An AVC ID (Access Virtual Circuit Identifier) is a unique 15-character code that identifies your nbn® connection. nbn requires all telcos to collect your AVC ID when you switch providers or take over an existing service. This helps protect your service from being transferred without your permission and ensures we connect the correct service, especially if there are multiple connections at your address.

If you are already with Buddy, you can find your AVC ID in the Buddy Telco app under your active services or on your monthly invoice. It is made up of the letters "AVC" followed by 12 digits, for example "AVC123456789000".

If you are with another provider, check your invoice or online account. It is usually listed near your service address.
