MyGovID

MyGovID is Ireland’s digital identity platform that allows you to verify your identity, receive a Public Services Card, and access a range of online Irish government services. The Chrome extension helps streamline this process securely from your browser.

Key steps include creating a basic MyGovID account, satisfying age and documentation requirements, and completing identity verification via selfie and passport, plus address proof and two-factor security. If approved, you’ll access online services and receive your PSC by post; applications are typically reviewed within about 10 working days. Personal data is minimized and not stored on the device after completion.
