On this page

Set up your myGovID

Before you can access a participating online service using your myGovID, you need to set up your myGovID and meet the minimum identity strength of the service you want to access.

For some business services, you may also need to be linked to the ABN in Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM).

Identity strength

This page lists the minimum identity strength you need to achieve to access each service.

For example, services that list Basic as the required identity strength will accept a myGovID with Basic, Standard or Strong identity strength.

Increasing your identity strength will better protect your identity and allow you to access more services.

How to use myGovID

Once set up, you can use your myGovID to access the government online services listed below without having to prove your identity each time or remember passwords for each individual service.
