Services › igovt Services

igovt is an online identity information management service that enables you to prove and confirm your identity securely when dealing with government service providers on the Internet.

igovt currently has two separate, but related services:

• igovt logon service
  The igovt logon service allows you to use the same username and password to access a variety of online services from participating government agencies, and saves you from having to remember multiple logons for different services.

• igovt identity verification service
  The igovt identity verification service allows you to prove your identity online. To do this, you need to be issued an igovt ID. This allows you to prove your identity online safely and securely.

The igovt identity verification service is currently in an initial implementation stage and can be used to order non-historical records from Births, Deaths & Marriages Online.

Future services

The Department of Internal Affairs and New Zealand Post are partnering to create a new service called RealMe. You can find out more about it at www.realme.govt.nz.
