MyGovID: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use MyGovID to access all government portals with a single login and how to upgrade your account for full access.
MyGovID is a digital service that provides you with a single login to access all various government portals online.
Who it's for
You qualify for this service if you have a PPS number.
What you get
Once set up, you get single sign-on access to all government portals, meaning you only need one set of login details to manage your interactions with different government services.
What it costs you
While using the digital service is free, getting full access requires you to visit an Intreo centre in person to complete a verification process.
The catch to know
There are different levels of account access. A "Basic" account only allows for limited use; you must obtain a "Verified" status if you need to manage your tax or social welfare affairs.
How to apply
- Visit the official MyGovID website.
- Create your account using your personal details.
- Complete the in-person verification at an Intreo centre to upgrade to a full account.
- Use your new credentials to log in to government services.
