This is so frustrating, ATO made a (myGovID)service that is now bottleneck to everything. This app is so useless. I am applying for director id for which myGovID app is required. I have been trying to update my profile to strong but every time I upload documents like passport or Medicare or Driver License or citizenship certificate it throws error (45057 (422) )

unable to prove your identity.

no further explanation as what’s the problem, why it’s failing to identify.

I followed the steps suggested on other threads ( reset the app etc ) but this issue persist.


it suggest to call the number but that number goes unattended and drop off.


Now I am stuck, can’t apply director id from any options provided online /phone.


such a worthless and underperforming IT application made central to key/ mandatory processes with so little support to resolve issue.


note : I have sent emails to technical department but no response from there too.


if I miss the 30 Nov deadline, it’s because ATO set us all for failure with this myGovID app !!

Hi @GSharma,


There has been an update to director ID applications – if you apply by December 14th there will be no penalty for a late application.


The error you’re receiving indicates you have already used your identity documents to set up myGovID. Is there an email address you’ve used previously?


The advice is to set up your myGovID again using the original email address by:


  • uninstalling/reinstalling the app, and
  • selecting option I am an existing user
  • with the original email address, and
  • verifying two ID documents.


You should be able to update your myGovID email address once your account is reset if you don’t want to use the original email address.


If this doesn’t resolve the issue you will have to keep trying the support line I’m afraid.

Best of luck.
