NRAS portal
Digital Identity
The NRAS portal uses the Australian Government Digital Identity System to verify users. Digital Identity is a safe, secure and convenient way to prove who you are online.
myGovID is the Australian Government’s Digital Identity app. You will need a Digital Identity (myGovID) to access the NRAS portal.
FAQ’s and links provided below explain Digital Identity in more detail including how to access and set up your myGovID.
Digital Identity FAQs
What is Digital Identity?
Digital Identity is a safe, secure and convenient way for Australians to prove who they are online. You can also link your Digital Identity to an Australian business to act on its behalf.
Digital Identity allows you to verify your identity, much like a digital version of a 100-point ID check.
Once your Digital Identity is set up, you can reuse it whenever you are asked to prove who you are to access a range of government online services for both personal and business matters.
Using myGovID as your Digital Identity
myGovID is the Australian Government’s Digital Identity app. Set up your myGovID in three easy steps. Download the myGovID app to your smart device, enter your details and choose your identity strength. To access the NRAS portal, you will need at least a standard identity strength. As it's your personal Digital Identity, you should set up your myGovID using a personal email address. It should not be a shared or work email address.
For further information on setting up a visit www.mygovid.gov.au/setup.
Link your myGovID to a business using Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM)
If you access the NRAS portal on behalf of a business, you will need to link your myGovID to the business using RAM.
RAM is an authorisation service that allows you to act on behalf of a business online when linked with your Digital Identity, like myGovID. How you link depends on whether you’re a:
- principal authority – person responsible for the business or entity
- authorised user or administrator - someone who acts on behalf of a business or entity.
For more information, see https://info.authorisationmanager.gov.au
