I only have a proof of age card as photo ID, how do I set up a myGov account
Do you have a medicare card and Australian birth cert? You'll be able to achieve a standard identity strength for myGovID if you do. If you don't have any of the required documents, you can set up a basic myGovID. Check the link to find out more.
Now if you're after a myGov account which is different to myGovID, you can create one easily if you have your own email address. From there you can link to different govt services including our ATO online services. The link has more details.
