# Australian Property Identification Code (PIC) (`au_pic`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Eight-character code that a State or Territory agriculture authority allocates to a property where livestock is kept, used in the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) and on movement documents. Western Australia also uses three-character brands. The PIC is the first eight characters of an NLIS device number (au_nlis_id).
