My .au domain is registered to me as an individual, but the Route 53 transfer form requires an ABN, ACN or trademark number. Support hasn't resolved it yet. Is there another way to complete the transfer?
How can I transfer a personal .au domain to Route 53?

This could be a limitation in the Route 53 form rather than a general rule that individuals cannot hold a .au domain. The requirements for .com.au and direct .au registrations differ, so the form may not accommodate your situation.
I'd ask AWS support specifically whether it supports transferring a direct .au domain registered to an individual without one of those identifiers. Avoid entering an identifier that doesn't apply just to get past validation.

One suggestion is to use an ABN as a sole trader, but that only helps if you're eligible for one and it applies to your circumstances. Having an existing personal domain doesn't itself establish that eligibility, so check the current ABN rules before applying.

My previous ABN is no longer active, so I would need to check whether applying again is appropriate.
