New customers registering for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) digital services can now sign up using GOV.UK One Login.
From 9 February 2026, individual customers without an existing Government Gateway account will create a GOV.UK One Login using just an email address and password, instead of a 10-12 digit ID, to access HMRC services.
When fully rolled out across government, GOV.UK One Login will be the single way to access all government services online.
The rollout for HMRC customers will be gradual and closely monitored. HMRC customers with a Government Gateway account do not need to take any action. They will continue to use their current Government Gateway ID and will be contacted when it’s time for them to switch to GOV.UK One Login.
If an existing HMRC customer has a GOV.UK One Login for a different government service (e.g. manage your state pension, or Companies House services) – they will also need to continue to use their Government Gateway for HMRC for now.
