MyGovID will be changing its name very soon to MyID. Be aware of scammers that will try and take advantage of this.

If you are unsure if something you have received is spam, please contact us and we can try and help you verify if it is legitimate.

Scammers are currently targeting the community in relation to the upcoming myID changes 🚨

From mid-November myGovID is changing to myID, but how you use it will stay the same.

You don’t need to do anything to prepare for the change.

⚠️ You don’t need to set up a new myID or reconfirm your details as part of this change. If you are asked to do this, it is a scam.
