Renewing your authorisation for Sequoia
You have been directed to this page as your access to CDS and/or NCTS through Sequoia is due to expire soon and you will need to sign in to your ASM Online account and renew your authorisations on the HMRC Government Gateway.
Signing into your ASM Online Services account
Before you start, please make sure you have your Government Gateway credentials to hand, as these will be required in order to complete the authorisation.
Sign into your ASM User Account. This is the account that you previously created on our online platform to register for TDR and/or NCTS CTC. Click [here] to go to the login page, this will open up in a new tab.
If you have forgotten your credentials then click on the I've forgotten my credentials link to reset your password. Your Username will be the email address that you originally used to create the account.
This will take you to the Welcome page. Click on the blue continue button in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Your Government Gateway authorisation status.
This page displays your current authorisations, showing whether you have CDS, NCTS or both and when they are due to expire. You can also see your TDR status and when that is due to expire.
For the purposes of these instructions we will be running through the scenarios for CDS and NCTS Live Systems.
Choosing the applicable option for your organisation
Select the option that is the right fit for your organisation in terms of how you interact with the Government Gateway.
Click on the Begin Authorisation Process button
Same Government Gateway Account
Does your organisation use the same Government Gateway account for both CDS and NCTS? If so then select I do both CDS and NCTS. They are authorised using the same Government Gateway account When you select this option you will see that your Enrolment ID for NCTS has already been entered. There is no need to edit this field, unless of course it has changed. When you are ready to proceed, ensuring that you have your Government Gateway credentials to hand, click on the "Authorise" button.
When you click on the authorise button you are redirected to the HMRC Government Gateway.
Here you will be able to authorise both CDS and NCTS with just a few clicks and one sign-in to the Government Gatway.
Once you have completed the process successfully you will be returned to the following screen on ASM Online Services indicating the new expiry dates of your authorisation:
Separate Government Gateway Accounts

Clicking on Authorise will take you through to the HMRC Government Gateway website. You will need to use the credentials for the account that CDS is registered to.
