MyDigital ID rolls out online registration via mobile app

Identity management and authentication platform MyDigital ID announced its online registration mode via its mobile app for all Malaysians today.

Malaysians only need to download the MyDigital ID app via Google Play or the Apple App Store to register.

“After signing up for MyDigital ID, Malaysians no longer need to log in to different platforms using different passwords… only one verification system is needed.

“In addition, through MyDigital ID’s current integration with MyJPJ, users who are registered with MyDigital ID will no longer need to perform another biometric verification at any JPJ counters,” the company said.

Besides MyJPJ, the MyDigital ID system is also integrated with several government applications such as the Human Resources Management Information System (HRMIS) Mobile, MySejahtera, and MyGov portal, with more government services being integrated soon.

Meanwhile MyDigital ID Sdn Bhd CEO Mohd Mirza Mohamed Noor described the online registration as another milestone by the company and the country towards achieving secure and seamless digital identity solutions.

“What sets MyDigital ID apart from the existing signup systems is that users are protected from online fraud and identity theft thanks to the MyDigital ID certificate, as it is pegged onto the user’s personal device upon successful registration,” he said.

He added that the company does not store any biometric data of its users, nor does it collect, monitor, or store personal data,

Mirza also pointed out that the system ensures users do not have more than one digital identity as a safety measure.

“The MyDigital ID system would be used to verify a user’s identity for logging in to government platforms and transactions, and data would not be collected.

“The system only compares the information contained within a MyKad and a user’s fingerprint or facial features against existing data held by government agencies such as the National Registration Department (NRD) during the registration process,” he said.

First announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim last November, MyDigital ID is recognised nationally as a trusted form of digital identification management, providing secure authentication for online transactions and addressing vulnerabilities in the existing online identity verification system.

Since then, MyDigital ID registration kiosks have been placed at 200 NRD branches, eight National Information Dissemination Centre branches, and 357 Tealive outlets throughout the country and over 600,000 Malaysians have registered with MyDigital ID.
