# Background

Using sgID, you'll be able to request for government-verified data from your end users without onboarding onto Singpass or MyInfo. This guide will bring you through the necessary steps for registering and integrating with sgID as a relying party (RP).

sgID's OAuth implementation supports the standard [authorization code grant type](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.1). As such, the integration steps will be based on the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow.
