About Login.gov

Why do I need a Login.gov account?

Login.gov allows non-Federal users, including motor carriers and State enforcement, to sign in to A&I or SMS safely and securely. You will use your Login.gov username (email address) and password each time you log in to A&I or SMS.

Note: Federal employees and contractors do not need a Login.gov account, use the link above to log in via MyAccess using your PIV card.

If I already have a Login.gov account, do I need to create a new one?

No. If you already have a Login.gov account, for example to access a different government system, you can log in using your existing Login.gov account to access A&I or SMS.
