A Digital ID might be easier to manage because you do not need to:

  • use your physical ID to get services
  • share copies of your ID.

If you use a Digital ID there is less chance that someone can steal your information.

This means that your information is safer.

You can also use a Digital ID to log in to online services, like myGov.

This means you do not have to remember lots of usernames and passwords.
