How to activate gov mail id

To activate a Government of India (GoI) email ID, you'll need to follow these steps:

For Central Government Employees:

1. Register on the Employee Self Service (ESS) portal: Go to the ESS portal (www.ess.gov.in) and register yourself using your Employee ID, Date of Birth, and other required details.
2. Verify your email ID: Once registered, you'll receive an email from the ESS portal to verify your email ID. Click on the verification link to activate your email ID.
3. Login to the ESS portal: After verifying your email ID, login to the ESS portal using your Employee ID and password.
4. Activate your GoI email ID: Go to the "Email" section and click on "Activate Email" to activate your GoI email ID.

For Non-Central Government Employees (e.g., students, researchers, etc.):

1. Register on the NIC email portal: Go to the NIC email portal (www.nic.in/email) and register yourself using your name, email ID, and other required details.
2. Verify your email ID: Once registered, you'll receive an email from the NIC email portal to verify your email ID. Click on the verification link to activate your email ID.
3. Login to the NIC email portal: After verifying your email ID, login to the NIC email portal using your email ID and password.
4. Activate your GoI email ID: Go to the "Email" section and click on "Activate Email" to activate your GoI email ID.

Common Steps for Both:

1. Set up your email client: Once your GoI email ID is activated, set up your email client (e.g., Outlook, Gmail, etc.) to access your GoI email ID.
2. Check your email settings: Ensure that your email client is configured correctly to receive emails from the GoI email ID.

Important Notes:

• The GoI email ID is a government-issued email ID, and you may need to provide identification proof and other documents to activate it.
• The email ID may be subject to certain usage guidelines and restrictions.
• The GoI email ID may not be accessible from all countries or regions due to government restrictions.

If you're still facing issues or have questions, you can contact the relevant authorities or the NIC email portal support team for assistance.
