To submit a dispute on the portal, one needs to be logged in. The portal allows you to log in either with your e-ID account or else by creating an account through the portal itself. If you want to log in with your e-ID account, you just need to go to the Login page, then click on the Sign In button under the Sign in with e-ID section and provide your ID Number and e-ID password.

If you don’t know your e-ID credentials, you can create an account through the portal itself:

-        Go to the Create Account page.

-        Enter the details being requested, agree to the Terms and Conditions, enter the code from the image and then click on Submit. (N.B.: fields marked with an * are mandatory)

-        You will receive an e-mail on the e-mail address you provided.

-        From the e-mail, click on the hyperlink to complete the registration.

-        You will be re-directed to the portal, where you will be requested to create a username and password which will be used to log onto the portal.

-        When ready, click on Register to successfully create the account.

-        You can now make your way to the Login page and provide your newly created username and password and click on the Sign In button under the Sign in with local account section.
