DIO Service Family Accommodation (SFA) Communications Update - 29 May 2026

HomeHub

Following the recent downtime, there has been some updates on how you access HomeHub and an extra security step has been added. This means you may be asked by GOV.UK One Login to prove your identity when you log in. You may have already done this when using other government services, such as:

• Renewing a passport
• Updating a driving licence
• Using some HMRC services

What this means for you

• If you’ve already proved your identity, you don’t need to do anything. Your details are saved by GOV.UK One Login and will be recognised when you log in to HomeHub.

• If you haven’t proved your identity to GOV.UK One Login yet, you’ll be asked to do this the next time you log in.

How to prove your identity

You only need to do this once and can do so in one of three ways:

• Using the GOV.UK One Login app
• Answering security questions online
• Going to a Post Office

What you can use will depend on your device and the ID you have. For step-by-step help, click here.

Please note, Pinnacle does not verify your identity and does not receive or store any of your information. Your identity is checked by GOV.UK OneLogin, which securely validates and stores your details.
