New look for RealMe
In June, RealMe will look a little different. Same great login and verified identity services, but with a more modern look and feel. Come back and check us out.
RealMe login
Your RealMe login is a single username and password you can use to securely access services online.
You can use your RealMe login for both work and personal services. Your personal details are never shared with the organisation or service you log into.
When you start an online process that uses RealMe, you'll have the option to create your RealMe login, or log in if you already have one. If you don't have a RealMe login, it's best to create one from the service you want to use.
- Only one username and password to remember
- Use for both work-related and personal services

RealMe verified identity and address
Use your RealMe verified identity to prove who you are online. You can also verify your address, which allows you to provide proof of address online.
To create your verified identity you'll need a passport, birth or citizenship certificate or immigration document. You must only apply for yourself, you cannot apply for, or on behalf of, someone else. If you apply with a NZ passport or citizenship certificate you'll have the option to take your own photo using the camera on your phone, laptop, tablet or desktop.
If you apply using birth or immigration documents you'll need to get your photo taken for free at a participating photo store.
- Only provide proof of identity and proof of address once
- New Zealanders living overseas can apply using their passport and take their own photo
- You're in control of your personal information
- Your verified identity is renewable after 10 years
