You can create your Government Gateway login during the Konfir flow or directly on HMRC’s site: start from the sign-in page, choose Create sign in details, verify your email, set a password, note your Government Gateway ID, choose Individual account, and set up 2-step security. Then return to your Konfir link to connect.

On the HMRC sign-in page, select ‘Create sign in details’.

You’ll be prompted to enter your email address. You’ll then receive a verification code. Once you’ve entered that code and it has been accepted, click ‘Continue’.

You’ll then be asked your full name, and be prompted to set a strong password (10 characters or more)

You’ll now be presented with your Government Gateway user ID; a 12-digit number that you can use to sign into Government Gateway with the password you’ve just set.

You’ll now be asked to choose which type of tax account you’d like to create. Select Choose Individual as the account type for personal PAYE use.

You’ll be asked to set up some extra security measures to make sure only you are able to sign in, including providing your phone number and letting HMRC know how you want to be sent access codes (text or authenticator app).

You’re almost there! You’ll now be asked for personal identification information such as your National Insurance number, birth date and other details about your income and employment status.

You’re all set! Return to your Konfir link and connect HMRC using your new credentials.
