HOW TO REGISTER

If you have received an invitation letter from mypensionID, all you need to do is follow the onscreen instructions to onboard with mypensionID.
You’ll need the 12-digit Unique Security code from the letter/email and you’ll need to verify your identity with a selfie and a valid government issued photo identity document (passport, driving licence or national ID card).

THE BENEFITS
• Log in quickly and securely
• Instant verification - no interruption to your pension payments

### 3/5 — Miss BBC

*2026-07-08, version 2.1.25*

Not that easy. I filled in all pages with a struggle but when I had finished it wasn’t made clear that I had actually finished. I looked out for the email today, so now I have received it, I assume all is well. Considering this is meant for retired  ie older people, I think it could be clearer.

### 5/5 — Self identifying

*2026-06-29, version 2.1.25*

Really easy experience to identify that I am live and kicking. Highly recommend - it only takes a couple of minutes.

### 4/5 — App Review

*2026-06-18*

The app is pretty straightforward to use, just remember to hold the phone at eye level for the digital picture otherwise it rejects.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-15, version 2.1.25*

Easy to use, took no more than a couple of minutes and a vast improvement on having to find a JP and waste time and money traveling to them. A really good app

### 4/5 — Initial problem and a suggestion

*2026-06-15*

I have moved to the United States from Britain. From here in the USA, I first tried to use my US Green Card which is accepted as an ID everywhere. The app said something like “this document cannot be accepted, please use another document.” I then used my UK Passport, and the process was successful. 

My wife, a Surrey County Pensioner, recently used her Green Card on her Surrey Pensioner app, and was successful. 

It would be good if you could add the US Green Card as an acceptable ID. If my UK Passport is not with me because it has been sent back to London for renewal (it takes months to get a new passport), I will have problems using My Pensionid. 

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Easy and convenient

*2026-06-02, version 2.1.25*

Updated the app as per my instructions from my company and followed the easy steps. Saved all the messing about with paper forms, posting etc

### 5/5 — Simple and fast

*2026-05-21, version 2.1.25*

One of the easiest apps to use- I found it extremely user friendly. The prompts were clear, even whilst taking the ‘live photo’. Much better than getting a paper form witnessed and then submitting it either by email, or by post back to the UK from NZ!

### 5/5 — Very easy to use.

*2026-04-25, version 2.1.25*

Took less than 5 minutes from start to finish with an email confirmation follow up.

### 2/5 — Functionally flawed

*2026-04-03, version 2.1.25*

Previously created my ID record but this was not retained for the following year. Tried to re-enter ID data which failed at the camera step: app did not recognize camera. Repeated process without success and eventually had to delete the app and reinstall to get camera access and then it worked. Until next year…? Poor!

### 5/5 — Andrew

*2026-04-02, version 2.1.25*

Very easy to use and a much better system of ID verification than paper. Highly recommended
