The new DAERA Messaging Service is secure, convenient and environmentally friendly.
It is essential for at least one member of your Farm Business to be a registered online user with DAERA to enable you to receive important communications regarding your Scheme Applications and Payments.
We will use the email address you have registered with DAERA to notify you when you have received a new message.
The message can be accessed through logging into your Government Gateway account or NI Direct Account (NIDA) when clicking on the link provided in the notification e-mail. It is important to make sure we hold the most up-to-date email information for you.
