myGovID is Changing its Name to myID

Soon, myGovID will have a new name and new look – but you’ll continue to use it in the same way.

The change from myGovID to myID, aims to reduce the confusion between the myGovID app and myGov. myID reflects the community’s understanding of Digital ID and demonstrates how a whole-of-government ID provider can help protect Australians from identity theft and fraud.

If you have already set up your myGovID and use it to access government online services, you won’t need to do anything when the app changes to myID. Your app should automatically update to myID on your device. Alternatively, you can download the myID app once it’s available in app stores.

You can continue to use your myGovID app to access government online services, including Online services for business. There will be no changes to your login details or identity strength.
