Connecting your NIFAIS account with AgriWebb is an important first step for cattle farmers in Northern Ireland.

Start by ensuring you have the correct credentials for the NIFAIS Online Service.

For more information on the applications within DAERA Online Services, email your local DAERA Direct Regional Office or telephone 0300 200 7840

Once you have your details ready, log on to the AgriWebb Web App and select the Account tab followed by Government Connections.

Click Add Connection.

A dialog box will prompt for the Government Body you wish to connect to;

Select the Farm required, from a list showing all farms in the region supported by NIFAIS; your NIFAIS credentials are not needed at this time.

If no identifier is set, it is possible to set the identifier at this point, which will then make the connection available to select. You need to add in your Business ID and Animal Group Number (Herd Number) - These details can also be added in your farm settings, head to Account > Farm Management > Edit > Enter Business ID and Animal Group Number.

Press Connect and the connection details will be tested, and a connection will be established.

When a connection to the NIFAIS Online system is required, you will be prompted to enter your credentials in a 'pop-up' window.

Select the way in which you would like to access NIFAIS - via nidirect, or Government Gateway credentials.

Once you have signed in successfully, the pop-up window will close and AgriWebb will proceed with the action requested.

If you have trouble connecting, verify your connection details with DAERA and make sure to type your password rather than copying and pasting it in.

Should you need any support on the integration process, please reach out to a member of our Farm Success team for assistance here anytime.
