At the Maryland State Retirement Agency, we are continually improving the mySRPS experience for our members and retirees. For added security, this August we are rolling out new features to protect your account. When logging into mySRPS for the first time, members and retirees will be walked through an online process to confirm their identity. Don’t worry. It’s quick and easy. Most importantly, it adds an additional layer of security to your online account.

The following new registration process will be launched soon!

Before registering for mySPRS using your internet-connected computer, you’ll need to have two additional items handy: a camera-equipped mobile phone and your government-issued ID card. That’s all! Follow the simple instructions and, in just a few minutes, you’ll have access to a powerful retirement planning tool designed just for you.

Before you begin, let’s go over some tips to make registration a breeze.

Photographing Your Government-Issued ID

To prove your identity, you’ll need to snap a photo of a government-issued identification. A driver’s license, state ID card or passport will work great. You’ll be guided to take this photo, and a photo of yourself, within the mySRPS app. So, don’t do it yet.

• Use a high-resolution camera like a smartphone or tablet camera, rather than a webcam.
• Position license to fit inside your camera’s crop marks.
• Take your photos in a well-lit area with indirect light.
• Hold your device still while taking the photos.

Providing Your Photo

You’ll also need to take a quick selfie. This photo will be used only to confirm your identify.

Additional details about the updated mySRPS registration process will be shared here later this week. Please check back for the latest updates!
