mygovscot myaccount, the easy way to access public services online in Scotland, is now being used by 2.5 million people across Scotland.
The platform provides people living in Scotland with the ability to set up an online account that can be used across multiple organisations and to access an increasing range of online public services, such as paying council tax or requesting a parking permit, paying for school meals or applying for benefits and so much more.
Since its launch by the Improvement Service ten years ago, mygovscot myaccount has gone from strength to strength and continues to expand to new organisations and new functions. The platform is now being used by more 50% of the eligible population in Scotland, a massive increase from the 19,000 accounts in use at the end of 2014.
mygovscot myaccount also provides authentication and identity verification for online National Entitlement Card applications through getyournec.scot and supports other platforms such as parentsportal.scot, tellmescotland.gov.uk – Scotland’s portal to discover and set alerts for public notices – and Young Scot cards.
mygovscot myaccount has over 90 integrations with back-office systems across 40 organisations, including all 32 councils across Scotland who use it to enable their citizens to access online services.
