How do I get a "myID" Account ?

Before you start

To set up your myID, you need:

• a smart device – the myID app is compatible with most smart devices, such as smart phones, and is only available from the Apple App Store or Google Play
• a personal email address – as it’s your personal Digital ID, your ID documents will be linked to the email you choose. It should not be a shared or work email address
• to be 15 years or older – age restrictions may also apply to use some government online services.

Three steps to set up myID

1. Download the myID app on your smart device
