MILogin Help Page

MILogin is the state of Michigan Identity Management solution that allows users the ability to access many state services and systems online, across multiple departments, using a single user ID and password.

For example, if you currently access CHAMPS, MCIR, MDOS eServices (CARS), MiBridges, MiSACWIS, Michigan Treasury Online (MTO), or any of our other business online services and applications, they are all leveraging MILogin accounts. Please use your user ID and password from those systems to log into the MILogin portal, instead of creating a new account.
