myClearance is the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency’s (AGSVA) security clearance portal. It is used by applicants, clearance holders and sponsors.
myClearance is used to:
- initiate security clearance requests
- complete, submit, and track security clearance applications
- update contact details
- record changes in personal circumstances.
myGovID is the Australian Government’s Digital Identity app which provides a secure method to access the myClearance online portal for all security clearance requirements.
The myGovID digital identity uses encryption and cryptographic technology along with the security features of a smart device (such as fingerprint, face or password) to protect identity and personal information.
To access myClearance, a 'standard' strength Digital Identity is required.
Once set up, myGovID can allow access to a range of Government online services without the need to provide identification each time or remembering passwords for each service.
myGovID is accredited under the:
- Australian Trusted Digital Identity Framework (developed in alignment with the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology SP800-63B), which strictly controls how identity data is collected, stored and used.
- Gatekeeper Public Key Infrastructure Framework, which governs how the Australian Government uses digital keys and certificates to assure the identity of subscribers to authentication services.
For users without access to myGovID, find out how to complete a security clearance application or report changes to AGSVA.
