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
Only download the myID app from the official app stores listed above.
If you:
- are setting up your myID for the first time, continue to step 2
- have set up your myID before, select ‘I am an existing user’ and follow the prompts. See Setting up your myID again.
2. Enter your details
Open the myID app on your smart device and follow the prompts to:
- enter your email address – choose a personal email you have ongoing access to
- create a password
- enter your full name and date of birth.
