How to update your personal details

Find out how to update your name and date of birth in myGov.

We use the name and date of birth you have recorded with Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Centrelink or Medicare if you have them linked.

If you connect your Digital Identity, we'll record your name and date of birth from your Digital Identity.

How to update your personal details

A myGov Profile is the name and date of birth held by linked profile services (Centrelink, Medicare, the Australian Taxation Office) or your Digital Identity, if you’ve connected it.

To update your name and date of birth, update these details directly with Centrelink, Medicare or the ATO, and they'll share this update with myGov.

You can update your details online in your linked online account through myGov.
