MygovID – Australian government services. MyGovID is a safe and secure online account that allows you to access your government services. It gives you a unique online identity that only you have access to.
MyGovID employs two-factor authentication to protect you. When you update your MyGovID account, it will send a code to your verified phone in addition to your username and password (which you choose).
It’s based on the Public Services Card, which connects a “real-world” identity to an online identity, and it’s meant to be shared and integrated across government agencies and public bodies. MyGovID is a step toward the “joined-up government” that individuals want in their digital and everyday contacts with government services.

All you need is your name and an email address to create a basic MyGovID account online. You will receive an email with a 6-digit number after you sign up. You’ve now created your basic MyGovID account by entering that code.

How to verify MyGovID
You must validate your basic MyGov account in order to use all of the services offered through my MyGov.
You’ll need your PPS number, your Public Services Card, and a phone number that the government has validated.
When you provide your information, a 6-digit code will be delivered to your verified phone number through text message. Your MyGov account will be validated once you enter that code.
