The team will facilitate anyone who wishes to register and open a ‘MyDSS’ account on the day.
Just bring along your MyGovID login details or, if you do not have a MyGovID, then please bring the following;
- Photographic ID (one item)
- Proof of Address (two different items)
We can sign you up for a DSS account and give you an introduction to the portal.
If you want to know what ID to bring, our ID Verification Form is on our website and it provides a list of accepted documents for both photographic ID and proof of address and the requirements for these documents (i.e., dated in last 6 months, matching details, etc).
