myID is different to myGov

  • You will not be able to log in with your myGov account.
  • You need a myID set up

To set up your myID, you need:

 a smart device

The myID app is compatible with most smart devices and is only available from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
 

a personal email address

As it’s your personal Digital Identity, your identity documents will be connected to the email you choose. It should not be a shared or work email address.
 

 

 

Three easy steps to set up your myID

1.          Download the myID app

2.         Enter your details

Open the myID app on your smart device and follow the prompts. You need to enter your full name, date of birth and a personal email address
 

3.         Choose your identity strength

The government online service you want to access determines the minimum identity strength you require. You can set up a Basic, Standard or Strong myID.
