Accessing HMRC online services using GOV.UK One Login
Find out how GOV.UK One Login will apply to you and when you can expect to start using it.
What GOV.UK One Login is
GOV.UK One Login is a new way of signing in to government services. It provides a simple way for you to sign in and prove your identity using an email address and password.
Over time it will replace all other sign in routes including Government Gateway that many customers and businesses currently use.
What this means for you
You will automatically be asked to create a GOV.UK One Login. It will not happen for everyone at the same time, and you do not need to do anything unless we ask you to.
Customers without existing HMRC online sign in details will be among the first to create a GOV.UK One Login.
You do not need to do anything differently to access HMRC online services, until we prompt you to.
When you are asked to create a GOV.UK One Login you may need to go through a new authorisation and identity verification process, so will need to have some identification documents ready such as a passport or driving licence.
If you’re a tax agent, or an organisation with a business tax account, you will continue to use Government Gateway until you’re asked to create a GOV.UK One Login.
