myGovID is Now myID

MyGovID Has Changed its Name to MyID 

MyGovID has officially transitioned to myID.  While the app’s name and appearance have changed, its security features remain the same, and the way users log in is unchanged.  Those already using the app for government services do not need to take any action, as the update was simple and straightforward. 

Here is what stayed the same: 

  • Same account details: Users did not need to set up a new account.  Login details, such as email addresses and identity verification levels, remain unchanged. 

  • Automatic update: The app automatically updated to myID, or users could manually update it via the App Store or Google Play. 

  • Continued access: Users can still securely access government services online without any change to the app’s functionality. 

For further details, see the official myID information page.

Avoid Scams 

There is no need to set up a new myID account or to reconfirm your details.  If a website prompts you to do so, it is a scam. 

To protect yourself: 

  • Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading files from unknown emails or SMS. 

  • Only download the myID app from official app stores.
