From 13 November 2024, myGovID will be changing its name to myID. It will have a new name and look – but you’ll continue to use it in the same way. When the change happens, you won’t need to do anything. You’ll still be able to:
• continue using your existing app on your smart device
• use the same login details and have the same identity strength
• use it to securely access government online services such as Online services for business.
There’s no need to set up a new myID or reconfirm your details. If you've been asked to do this in a message, email or by visiting a website, it’s a scam.
The change from myGovID to myID aims to reduce the confusion between the myGovID app and myGov. The new name for the Australian Government’s Digital ID app 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.
