I need to update my / my wife's details on MyGov and MyGovID as I have moved back to the UK in late March this year. Can I do this online, in writing, or do I need to speak to someone. If so, what are the contact details? We are dual UK / Australian citizens.
Hey @dpidgeon,
You can update your details either of the ways you've said. The easiest and fastest way to update details is via online services that's if you still have access to your MyGov account now you're outside Australia.
If you're unable to do it via online, you can speak to someone and do it however unless your listed on your wife's account you won't be able to do hers on her behalf.
The other option you have is to update your details by post. You would do this by filling out the update your details for individuals form and posting it to us. You may need to provide certified copies of identity documents depending on what you're having us update.
Hope this helps!!
