Description
myGovID is the Australian Government’s digital identity app that allows you to prove who you are and sign in to participating government online services.
The myGovID app is different to myGov. You can use the myGovID app to sign in to your myGov account.
Set up your myGovID in three easy steps:
1. Download the myGovID app
2. Enter your details – including your full name, date of birth and a personal email address that only you have access to.
3. Verify your identity to increase your identity strength. There are three identity strengths – Basic, Standard or Strong. Increasing your identity strengths allows you to access more services and better protects your identity.
Increase your identity strength by verifying your Australian identity documents, like your passport, driver’s licence and Medicare card. These documents are checked against existing government records. You can also choose to verify you photo, this is a one-off face verification check, to further increase your identity strength. The app scans your face to check that you’re a real person, the right person and verifying in real time.
You need to be 15 years or older to set up a myGovID. However, age restrictions may also apply to use some government online services. To find out if you’re eligible to use a particular service, check its terms of use.
Your personal information won’t be shared without your permission - putting you in control. myGovID is accredited under the Australian Trusted Digital Identity Framework which strictly controls how your identity data is collected, stored and used. It uses encryption technology as well as the security features in your device, such as fingerprint, face and password. This is to protect your identity and help prevent other people accessing your information.
Your myGovID is unique to you – don’t share it with others.

Ratings and Reviews
My drivers licence details are rejected
I entered my drivers licence details without any errors but the app rejected the information claiming it doesn’t match.
Thanks! Locked out of everything now.
Lost access to my ATO account and had my Business Account cancelled on me because I can’t get in. Spent hours on the phone, multiple days, still a mess.
Absolute garbage app
All won’t let me identify my passport… saying my details are incorrect when they are in fact perfect to what my passport reads. My name is simple.. and after trying a few attempts my account is locked. I don’t know why it wouldn’t just let you scan your passport or upload a valid document. There is no support email, not even sure what to do now. 0/5 stars if possible :/
