MyGov ID instructions

Attention Clients:

The Director of the company or the Sole Trader would need you to set-up their MyGov ID app and then they would have the ability to authorise other users as well online through their Relationship Manager login.

Anyone who wants access to the Business Portal will need to set-up MyGov ID on their phones (via the app) if you haven’t already.

This is the first step.

To start this process download the MyGov ID app on your phone (downloaded through your app store) and go through the proof of identity stage using two proof of identity documents each (i.e. Drivers License & Medicare Card)
Once MyGov ID is set-up on your phone you can then log into your MyGov ID via this link: https://info.authorisationmanager.gov.au/ on your PC and link your business, company or trust and proceed to the business portal (bp.ato.gov.au) to view your accounts. Once you’ve clicked the link, enter in your email address (used when you would have set-up your MyGov ID account on your phone) and enter the code generated on your PC you’re your phone. This will then take you to the stage where you can link your business to your MyGov ID and also proceed to add a user if you need to.

We also highlight that MyGov ID is how you log into the business portal (bp.ato.gov.au) and proceed to enrol into JobKeeper.
