What is "NYC.ID"?

NYC.ID is New York City's Centralized Public Identity Management Application. NYC.ID is required per the General Requirements of the External Identity Management and Password Policy for all City public-facing applications. The policy states that all user profiles and passwords used to protect public-facing City of New York systems which permit individuals or companies to manage their own data, shall be appropriately configured and issued for individual use.

Public users must create an ACCESS NYC profile and utilize DoITT (Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications) provided self-service mechanisms for password/credentials management. These public-facing profiles must be validated with a valid email address and each email address may only be associated with one account.
