NEXDOC benefits and changes

NEXDOC is a comprehensive system designed to improve your experience with our export services. It introduces new features and enhances existing ones to streamline the export documentation process.

Find out more about NEXDOC.

New features

  • New terminology
    • A ‘Request for Permit (RFP)’ is referred to as Request for Export Documentation (REX).
  • Manage your account details
    • Use NEXDOC to update your contact and registration details.
  • Reduced paperwork
    • NEXDOC automates manual certification and export documentation, decreasing the reliance on paper forms including:
      • non-prescribed goods (other goods and honey).
      • non-Australian product.
      • re-export certification.
      • extra certificates.
      • requests for replacement certificates.
  • Attach more information
    • Record more export information, attach supporting documents, and cross-reference information. You will be able to attach information to a REX, such as:
      • import permits.
      • bills of lading.
      • third country certificates.
  • Increased visibility of your request
    • Use NEXDOC to:
      • track the export approval process of your REX.
      • transfer and withdraw EDNs without contacting the department Helpdesk.
      • preview certificates before printing.
      • print certificates on white paper - certification issued by NEXDOC will have a unique QR code to improve tracking and security, removing the need for blue paper (where agreed with importing countries).
      • identify users as an AEPI (approved export permit issuer) streamlining the authorisation of REXs and removing the need for AQA user IDs.

Enhanced features

  • Improved printing capabilities
    • Increased in-office printing options (My Print).
  • Enhanced system performance
    • Easier and quicker to request export documentation, including faster transmissions via third-party software and greater flexibility in services and automatic emailing of eCert data.
  • Reduced time by
    • pre-validating your REX before submission (where available in your software).
    • using pre-populated drop-down menus – this replaces free-text fields in EXDOC interface.
    • reducing the need for manual certificates and forms.
