  • DAERA Customer Portal

    Topics:
    • Grants and Funding, 
    • Countryside Management and Managing your Business

    DAERA Customer Portal allows individuals, organisations and agents to manage their DAERA accounts, register for and access DAERA services, manage agent nominations for selected services and view DAERA Messages from the Department.
    Customer Portal will eventually replace DAERA Online Services, giving DAERA customers simple and secure 24/7 access to the services they need to comply with legislation, apply for funding and support and keep their details up-to-date.

    Before you start

    DAERA need to be sure that your privacy is being protected and your data is secure. DAERA need to know it’s you (not someone pretending to be you), in order to ensure your information is safe. You must therefore apply for authorisation and verify your identity before any information can be accessed on your DAERA online services. Once you have applied for access, it is your responsibility to keep your DAERA Online Services account details safe and secure.

    If you are an existing Online Services user, you will be able to access Customer Portal in the same way you currently do.
