To verify your identity online, you need to: 1. Have a basic MyGovID account 2. Be 16 years of age or older 3. Have a valid Irish passport 4. Have proof of your address on the island of Ireland If you do not have a basic MyGovID account, you can get one by going to www.mygovid.ie and completing the following steps: 1. Click ‘Create an Account Now’ in the top right corner of the page 2. Enter your personal details 3. Enter the one-time passcode that was sent to your email address 4. Agree to the terms and conditions. With a basic MyGovID account, you can verify your identity by downloading the MyGovID App and logging in using the details of your basic MyGovID account. You will be guided through the following steps: Step 1: Identity Document You need to confirm your identity by taking a selfie, taking a photo of your passport and scanning your passport with your phone. These steps match your selfie with your passport photo to help confirm your identity. Step 2: Additional Details You need to provide your birth surname, your mother’s birth surname, confirm your address, and provide proof of your address on the island of Ireland. Proof of your address must be a recent document that shows your name and address such as a utility bill, insurance policy, or other official document. The document must be dated within the past 6 months. Step 3: Account Security In order to keep your verified MyGovID account secure, you will be asked to select two security questions and enter your mobile phone number. Each time you log in to your MyGovID account, you will receive a one-time passcode to the mobile phone number you provide. Your submitted online application will be reviewed and you will receive an email in approximately 10 working days. If approved, you will be able to access a range of online Irish government services using your new verified MyGovID account and you will receive your Public Services Card, by post, to the address you provided. If your application is not successful, you will need to attend your local Intreo Centre to complete your application. Your personal information will not be stored in the application or on your mobile phone once you complete your application. Only the minimum personal information required to access online Irish government services is provided.

Insane stuff -- iJay, 2025-02-07 ### *---- "Crashing app." The app keeps crashing at the middle of the sign up for the public service card. I lost my license abroad and have been trying to replace it. It’s such a nightmare -- eljlaljl, 2025-02-02 ### *---- "Useless" I don’t understand the point of this app. Made me do all the steps and made me wait a couple days just to tell me to go into the centre. -- marcasmci, 2025-01-25 ### *---- "Useless" 5 attempts to verify my account and failed each time and at the end of each attempt it advises I do it in person in the office. Then what’s the point of this app!! 1 star! Typical Irish gov. Cheap -- Coadelougs, 2025-01-05 ### *---- "App not available in the UK" As a cross border worker, living in the north and working in the south - I needed to download this app to submit passport details for an employment update. However the app isn’t available in the UK App Store, and to change to the RoI App Store you need to have an address in the republic and a bank account registered in the RoI. Fortunately I have the bank account but needed to spoof the address in order to simply get access to this app. This is surely discriminatory and makes public services really challenging to access for cross border workers. -- Tomas_McC, 2024-12-20 ### *---- "Useless" Allows you to waste time entering everything, then fails at the last step and asks you to verify in person. In information on how it failed or what’s happened. Useless and time wasting pointless app -- skippi90, 2024-12-12 ### *---- "Beyond useless" Went through the long verification process, for it to fail at the last step. It doesn’t say where/how it failed, or save anything you’ve entered up to that point. Our tax euros hard at work, paying for this garbage.. -- Fionn Mc, 2024-11-15 ### *---- "So stupid app" No use at all stupid from head to toe -- .Idbajs, 2024-10-05 ### *---- "Purpose of this app?" I’ve downloaded this app with the expectation it’s a handy way to deal with my GovID. But as someone earlier mentioned: after login it opens the website straightaway, making this app pointless, other then logging into the site. Deleted this app directly. Pointless app -- JKSnip, 2024-09-28 ### *---- "Useless" Useless app, doesn’t work. Can’t read the passport picture. -- DM241509, 2024-08-29 ### *---- "Bogus" Tried to use the incredibly janky mygovid app apply for a PSC, it actually worked and I managed to submit my application. A few days later I got a spam email saying the application couldn’t be progressed and that I still needed to go in person to book an appointment. Not sure why this is app is still running. -- Salvador_TGA, 2024-08-26 ### **--- "Just use the browser" This app allows you to sign in and then immediately pulls you into your phone’s browser. I cannot access any services or do anything on the app itself. What’s the point of this app? -- hackoyaaaa, 2024-08-15 ### *---- "Great idea. Terrible execution." Trying to use the built in camera app in this app is a nightmare. Cannot take a photo of my passport. Camera is super sensitive and will not pick it up at all. -- Wayne Talbot, 2024-08-07 [View all MyGovID reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## MyGovID Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Ireland | Business | #1 | | Top Free | Ireland | Overall | #7 | ## MyGovID Discovered Keywords - mygovid ## Apps Similar to MyGovID - [AIB Authenticator](https://apptail.io/app/aib-authenticator-bEz/ireland) - [AIB Mobile](https://apptail.io/app/aib-mobile-FzM/ireland) - [My Tesco Mobile](https://apptail.io/app/my-tesco-mobile-rrib/ireland) - [An Post Money](https://apptail.io/app/an-post-money-AFHb/ireland) - [First Choice Credit Union](https://apptail.io/app/first-choice-credit-union-fkYb/ireland) - [MyIrishLife](https://apptail.io/app/myirishlife-amYb/ireland) - [HKC SecureComm 2](https://apptail.io/app/hkc-securecomm-2-eOKe/ireland) - [IrishJobs.ie - Job Search App](https://apptail.io/app/irishjobsie-job-search-app-Jffk/ireland) - [Food Village](https://apptail.io/app/food-village-Sffk/ireland) - [My3](https://apptail.io/app/my3-xgfk/ireland) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
