Getting your service on the mygov.scot app
The mygov.scot app is a beta project that will work with our digital components. It will provide the means for people to access public services.
The app is targeted at all Scottish public services. The future goal is to eventually have all our services available on the app.
The app is made up of a native (mobile) application and a web application. Services onboarded to the app will be onboarded to both the native and web applications.
The app will not offer bespoke functionality for individual services. You will need to have your service already operating and ready. The app will only surface existing public services, the app team will not build your service for you. Learn more about building or improving your service.
Why publish on the app
The app will help your users:
- find and return services relevant to them
- find out the status of applications, decisions and other processes
- regularly return to a central place to access public services and information
- also access the logged in web app
- in the future, be served personalised content and notifications
The app will help your service:
- become multi-channel
- send out secure messages and notifications
- ensure that personal data and user preferences are up to date through automatic integration with ScotAccount
- alert users to changes in the status of their applications
- save money through not building your own app unnecessarily
- in the future, access data already given by users through other services on the app
Requirements to get on the app
Currently, to get your service on the app you need to:
- be a service for people in Scotland
- be willing to use ScotAccount if your service needs users to log in
- use the Scottish Government Design System
- have a service entry page on mygov.scot. Learn more about publishing content on mygov.scot.
- sign a memorandum of understanding confirming that you will keep your service up to date
How to get your service on the app
We are looking for more partners to make their services available on the app.
