    Troubleshooting your mySAGOV app

    Android app users

    Some customers may not see updated information in their app. We're investigating the issue.

    In the meantime, try the steps below.

    My app won't refresh or show updated information

    We're aware some customers are not seeing updated details in the app. We're working to resolve this.

    Try the following:

    1. Swipe down on the credentials screen
    2. Log out and back in
    3. Clear app cache (see below for steps)

    How to clear app cache

    For Android:

    1. Open Settings
    2. Go to Apps or App Management
    3. Select mySAGOV app
    4. Tap Storage
    5. Tap Clear cache.

    For iOS:

    1. Open Settings
    2. Go to General > iPhone Storage
    3. Find and select mySAGOV app
    4. Tap Offload App > then Reinstall app

    If the issue continues, you can check your registration online.

    We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we investigate.

    I'm getting incorrect notifications

    • This can happen if the app hasn't refreshed since your payment.
    • Open the app and swipe down to update
    • For direct debit > updates may take a few days
      • Service SA will contact you if there's an issue with your direct debit.
    • The app should reflect the latest info the next time it's opened

    The app won't load or keeps closing

    Still need help? Contact Service SA

    The app keeps logging me out

    • You'll be logged out after 30 days of inactivity (for security)
    • You'll need to re-enter your PIN or biometric login.

    I can't add my occupational or firearms licence

    Occupational licences

    • Enter your licence number and client number.
    • Don't know your client number? Retrieve it online or call Consumer and Business Services on 131 882.

    Firearms licences

    • Licence number must be 6 digits +1 letter (eg 023456X). If yours is less than 6 digits, add 'zeros' (0's) at the start (eg 000012N).
    • You may need to wait up to 2 weeks if the licence was recently issued.
    • Still need help? Visit the Firearms and Weapons help page.

    I can't remove a vehicle

    A vehicle may still appear in your app for a few reasons:

    1. It was sold to an SA buyer who hasn't transferred the registration yet (they have 14 days to do so).
    2. It was sold interstate or written off - if the vehicle hasn't been re-registered in SA, you'll still appear as the last registered owner.
    3. You manually added the vehicle to track its registration status.

    If you manually added the vehicle, tap on it in the app and select the delete icon to remove it.

    What to do if you no longer own the vehicle

    • Notify Service SA you've sold the vehicle
    • This updates the system and helps you avoid being responsible for the new owner's fines or offences.

    My licence won't verify when I shake my device

    To verify your digital licence (eg for a venue or checkpoint), you may need to shake your phone.

    If it's not working:

    1. Go to Settings > Accessibility
    2. Ensure Animations are enabled
    3. Turn off any "Reduce Motion" or similar settings

    Some phones may block shake features if animations are disabled.
