# MyDigital ID Registration
What Is It
MyDigital ID is Malaysia's national digital identity system. It acts as a highly secure single sign-on (SSO) authentication platform, allowing citizens to log in to various government portals (like MyTax, JPJ mySIKAP, and PADU) with a single, secure identity, eliminating multiple passwords.
Who Is Eligible
Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above who hold a valid MyKad.
Required Documents
Original MyKad.
Mobile phone with active internet access.
Step-by-Step Procedure
1. Download App: Download the MyDigital ID mobile application from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
2. Self-Registration (Online): Open the app, scan the front and back of your MyKad, and complete the facial recognition (liveness check) scan.
3. Biometric counter (Alternate): If facial recognition fails, visit a registered physical kiosk counter (at JPN, NID, or Teledirect outlets) to register using fingerprint biometric scanning.
4. Create PIN: Create a secure 6-digit passcode PIN in the app.
5. Install Certificate: The app generates and stores a secure digital certificate on your device.
6. Use SSO: Access government portals and select 'Login with MyDigital ID'. Scan the QR code displayed on the screen to authenticate.
Cost & Processing Time
Cost: Free of charge.
Processing Time: Within 5 minutes for online self-registration.
Where to Apply
Mobile App: MyDigital ID.
In-person Kiosks: National Registration Department (JPN) branches and selected post offices.
Important Notes
MyDigital ID does not replace the physical MyKad; it is a digital representation of identity for cyber space transactions.
The digital certificate is linked strictly to one mobile device at a time for security.
