As part of its continued focus on making it easier for residents and businesses to access government services online, the Provincial Government is introducing several new features relating to healthcare service delivery through the MyGovNL platform.
Starting today (Tuesday, May 19), users can link their MCP account to their MyGovNL profile, allowing them to access MCP related information and services. With this change, anyone linking their MCP will be able to sign-up to be an organ and tissue donor in a few simple steps, and will be able to edit their donor preferences at any time through the site.
MyGovNL users will be able to review their MCP account information and receive email reminders for upcoming renewals. A future update will allow users to renew their MCP directly through MyGovNL in the coming months.
MyGovNL is the Provincial Government’s flagship platform that provides multiple online services in one convenient, combined location. In addition to MCP accounts, users can already link their driver’s licence and vehicle registration information to their account, as well as several related features. The platform is available for all residents of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Provincial Government is a leader in Canada for introducing a smarter approach to Digital Government. Since 2018, with the introduction of a five-year Digital Government plan, government has progressively transformed the way services are delivered in Newfoundland and Labrador.

“Since 2018, our government has put considerable focus on digital service delivery. This decision has paid dividends, as more and more residents have accessed services online during the COVID-19 crisis than ever before. The addition of MCP and related services is just the latest service to move on to MyGovNL, and in the coming years we will continue to expand the services that are available through this platform.”
Honourable Tom Osborne
Minister Responsible for the Office of the Chief Information Officer
“What we are seeing during the COVID-19 pandemic is that accessing healthcare services in virtual settings is the way of the future. By giving people the ability to become organ and tissue donors, as well as register their MCP cards, MyGovNL is an easy, one-stop shop for people who wish to use government services online.”
