MyGovID

MyGovID enables users to securely verify their identity and access an extensive range of online Irish government services. Designed as a digital identity solution, this app streamlines the process of authentication, providing an efficient and convenient way to obtain a verified MyGovID account and receive your Public Services Card. It requires users to meet specific criteria, including being at least 16 years of age, having a valid Irish passport, and providing proof of address within Ireland.

How to Verify Your Identity

To begin using MyGovID, you need a basic account. After downloading the app, log in with your account details and follow the guided identity verification process. This involves confirming your identity by taking a selfie, capturing photos of your passport, and scanning your passport. The app ensures accuracy by matching your selfie with your passport photo. Additionally, you must provide key personal details, along with proof of address via recent official documents.

Enhanced Account Security

To maintain security, the app requires users to select security questions and register a mobile number to receive one-time passcodes for login. The digital verification process does not store personal information on your device, prioritizing data privacy while ensuring only the necessary details are used for government services.

Reliable and secure, MyGovID simplifies access to Irish government services and facilitates the issuance of the Public Services Card, improving convenience for users across Ireland.
