ScotAccount
ScotAccount is the secure and simple way to access public services online.
It makes accessing services easier because you can use one account to sign in to a variety of services and verify your personal information.
ScotAccount is run by the Scottish Government. It’s separate from the local government myaccount service.
If you need a ScotAccount to use a service, and you do not already have one, you’ll be able to create one when you first use that service.
