Why do I need to log in?
The Queensland Government has a number of online services that require you to log in with a digital identity to enable the delivery of your requested online service.
How do I log in?
The QLD Digital Identity login (the System) is a secure online platform you use to log in or prove who you are with a digital identity. It exchanges details you consent to share between your chosen identity provider and the service you're accessing. The system may provide a selection of Identity and Information Providers for you to choose from.
What is an Identity Provider?
An Identity Provider is an online service you use to create your Digital Identity. Your identity provider verifies details from your identity documents with records held by government. You can choose which identity provider will verify your identity.
Which Identity Providers are available?
myGovID
Managed by the Australian Government, myGovID app is a new way to access a range of government online services for personal and business matters, instead of usernames and passwords. To find out more about myGovID visit - https://www.mygovid.gov.au/
Using myGovID to act on behalf of a business
To act on behalf of a business your myGovID must be linked to an Australian business number (ABN). The level of access must be set to Full for the QLD Digital Identity login under Queensland Government in the Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) service.
Learn more about the myGovID business login.
QGov
Managed by the Queensland Government, you can log in (or register) as an individual using QGov. Learn more about QGov.
Your Digital Identity strength
You may need to increase the strength of your Digital Identity to prove who you are for some services. This means you may need to use your identity provider to:
- give details from more identity documents
- use face verification.
Why do I need to share my personal details?
When you access a Queensland Government online service, you may need to share your personal details with the service to enable the interaction to be completed online.
Your personal details could include:

- middle name
- family name
- date of birth
- login username (e.g. email)
- Australian Business Number (ABN)–for Business login only.
You can choose whether you consent to share your details with the accessed Queensland Government online service or not.
The more you share, the better your experience will be with the Queensland Government online services. We will only ask for what is needed by the Queensland Government online service. If you choose not to provide consent to share, you may not be able to use the online service.
