Essential Tips for Setting Up and Using myGovID

How to Set Up myGovID

Setting up your myGovID is a straightforward process that can be completed in three easy steps:

Boosting Your Identity Strength

To maximize your identity strength, verify your Australian identity documents such as your passport, driver's license, and Medicare card. These documents are cross-checked against existing government records for accuracy. Additionally, you can opt for a one-off face verification check to further enhance your identity strength. The app uses advanced facial recognition technology to ensure that you're a real person, the right person, and that the verification is done in real-time. This added layer of security makes myGovID a reliable choice for safeguarding your digital identity.
