Create your My ISED Account

1 Register for an account: Choose a service you need and click "Sign in" to start the registration.

2 Sign in or sign up using GCKey or Sign-In Partner credential.

What is GCKey?

GCKey is a simple way to securely access Government of Canada online services. Your GCKey credential can be used to access multiple Government of Canada online services. For more information, visit GCKey—FAQ.

If you choose this option, sign in with your GCKey username and password. If you do not have a GCKey account, you must create one by providing a username, a password and password recovery questions.

What is Sign-In Partner?

You can access government services by using your online banking credentials or a Sign-In Partner participating in the Interac^® sign-in service.

If you choose this option, sign in using your chosen Sign-In Partner. You will temporarily go to your Sign-In Partner's site. Once you are signed in, you will be redirected back to the service you initially selected. Your Sign-In Partner will not know which government service you are using.

None of your banking or personally identifiable information (for ex., financial, banking) will be shared with the government services you are accessing.

3 Complete your account. Enter your personal information, including:

• first and last name
• email address
• phone number

A confirmation email will be sent to verify your email address.

4 Verify your email address. Ensure your email address is accurate, then select "Create my account and send me a verification email".

• Check your email for a verification message from ISED and click the link in the email before it expires.
• Your My ISED Account is now ready for use.
