General information:

If you are registering for the portal for the first time, you can also use our easy-to-follow instructional video demonstrating each step of the registration process. Please note that the video refers to “myGovID”, which has now been changed to “myID”. The OGTR portal recognises “myID” as the same as to be “myGovID” as mentioned in the video.
