Service description

RealMe includes 2 services:

  • RealMe login — an authentication service that allows government agencies to provide access to multiple online services with a single username and password.
  • RealMe verified identity — a verification service that allows government and private organisations to provide a way for customers to prove their identity online.

Benefits

RealMe login benefits

This authentication service provides government agencies with a secure, privacy-protective and standards-compliant authentication service that’s supported around the clock 365 days a year.

RealMe verified identity benefits

This identity verification service allows government and private organisations to:

  • reduce duplication, data–entry errors and costs associated with manual identity checking processes
  • reduce the risk of identity fraud, due to greater confidence in customer identity information
  • save money by re–using existing technology when integrating identity authentication into a digital system or service.

Customer benefits

Customers can:

  • log in to government online services that use RealMe using the same username and password — removing the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords and making it easier to transact with government
  • prove their identity easily and securely online
  • avoid the need to purchase identity documentation
  • avoid the cost and time involved in validating paper documents.
