US order sets up America.gov as one front door to federal services

29 September 2026: President Trump signed Executive Order 14432 on 29 September, directing the General Services Administration to build America.gov, a single sign-in point where people can find federal information and complete federal transactions online. The order was published in the Federal Register on 2 October.

Not yet independently verified. Single source: the text of the order as printed in the Federal Register. The OMB implementation memorandum it requires has not yet been issued. We will update this when it can be confirmed, and remove this note.

GSA will run the service with the National Design Studio and the Office of Management and Budget, and must integrate Login.gov and use it as the authentication service. The order covers public-facing federal services that serve more than 100,000 users in a 12-month period and can be accessed or applied for online. IRS tax filing services, the Department of War and elements of the intelligence community are excluded, and OMB can add or exclude services by memorandum.

Within 90 days of the order, which falls on 28 December 2026, OMB must send agencies an implementation memorandum. Agencies then identify their covered services, connect them to America.gov in a secure and privacy-preserving manner and complete their Login.gov integration in line with OMB memorandum M-26-18. That includes making the public application programming interfaces, dashboards and digital forms that already support services accessible through the platform. Agencies must also give GSA and OMB historical and current usage and performance data for each covered service.

The order sets limits on the design. It says America.gov must not create a centralised federal system of records about individuals, that each agency keeps custody and control of its own records and systems, and that in-person, telephone, mail and agency-specific digital channels stay available. It requires that the "super intelligence" used with the site be accurate, reliable and transparent. Implementation is subject to the availability of appropriations, and the order creates no rights enforceable against the United States.
