How to recover your HMRC Self Assessment sign in details <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first: head over to the HMRC services registration page<\/a>. You\u2019ll see an option that says “Having trouble signing in?” (don\u2019t worry, you’re not alone \ud83d\ude05). Click that, and then select \u2018password\u2019 to begin the recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you\u2019ll be taken to a page that will ask you to confirm your account details. Here\u2019s where the process splits depending on whether you\u2019re a first-time user or a returning one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For first-time users, recovery is pretty straightforward! You’ll need your User ID<\/a> and the email address you signed up with. No worries if you\u2019ve forgotten these \u2013 it\u2019s just like resetting your password for Gmail or Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve entered these details, HMRC will send you a fresh password. Once you get that, you\u2019re all set and ready to log in. Easy peasy! \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n
