Not able to get access due to no passport

13 replies

ByDandyTurtle · 28/08/2025 18:21

My little one is in nursery for a year and I've always applied for the funded hours no issue.

However I had my phone and driving licence stolen and I can't get into my government gateway account... I don't have my user name and tried to reset and won't work. I have called and no one can do it manually.

I'm crying ATM as today is my last day.

I don't have a passport or have my driving licence to provide that as id. It's still not arrived and I've had the fee for driving licence refund.

I just do it, please help, is there another way?

Sorry access meant funded hours

What went wrong with recovering your gateway ID? You just put in your email and it will get sent over, then go through the access steps.

Alternatively, is the dad still on the scene? He could apply for the funded hours this time using his own gateway ID.

I can't recover without Id, of which I have none. I've tried over three weeks

Do you have any devices that remember your User ID?

That’s probably your best bet.

Thanks for the person who DM me.

I can use my passport as it will scan it, and I create a new id and has all the details.

Fabulous, they have saved me

I thought you didn’t have a passport?

Where can I find my Government Gateway user ID? https://share.google/CS31IVm1NV9qtrKFx

Looks like you're sorted by another route though, so all good.

Yes I couldn't reset it so I had to create a new account.... Same email address. Seems bizarre but worked.
