Resources and guidance
This page provides access to the materials an entity needs to understand what is required to participate in the Australian Government Digital ID System (AGDIS). It also contains information about the ongoing obligations of entities that have been approved to participate in the AGDIS.
The AGDIS enables individuals to verify their ID online for certain government services. This means no unnecessary sharing of sensitive documents such as passports or birth certificates.

Eligibility
To participate in the Australian Government Digital ID System
From December 2024, Commonwealth, state and territory entities can apply to the Digital ID Regulator for approval to participate in the AGDIS. Private sector entities will be able to apply to the Digital ID Regulator from December 2026.
How to register your interesting in testing
You can register your interest to participate in the AGDIS by completing the registration of interest form.
Once the registration form is submitted the System Administrator will contact you for further information to facilitate access to the test environment and the testing process. Once testing is completed, there is a separate process to apply for approval to participate in the AGDIS.
Currently private sector entities can be involved in testing. Private sector entities will need to wait until December 2026 to apply to participate within the AGDIS.
If you are an individual and wish to use Digital ID, please see our set up and manage your Digital ID page.
