Trump signs executive order launching America.gov as unified digital front door to federal services

Trump signed an executive order on Sept. 29 directing the creation of America.gov as the single digital entry point to U.S. federal services — one sign-in, plain-language conversation; Google named technology partner.
Why it matters
This is the largest U.S. federal digital-services overhaul in years: Americans seeking federal services have long had to hop between agency websites and re-submit the same personal information, while the new policy makes America.gov a single "digital front door" — one sign-in and a plain-language conversation to complete eligible federal transactions.
Full report
President Donald Trump signed the executive order "Streamlining Access to Government Services Through America.gov" on September 29, directing the establishment of America.gov as the unified digital front door to the Federal Government for everyone in the United States seeking federal information or services. Trump made the announcement at a 10:00 a.m. event at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C.
Under the order, America.gov will not be "merely another website, search engine, or directory of Government links," but a secure, intelligent single point of entry: individuals may sign in, communicate in plain language, receive accurate answers, and, where authorized and technically available, complete government transactions without navigating multiple agency websites. The policy states the Federal Government should "do its own paperwork so that the American people may get on with their lives."
"Covered services" means public-facing federal services that serve more than 100,000 users in a 12-month period and can be accessed online — excluding IRS tax filing and services of the Department of War and elements of the Intelligence Community. The GSA Administrator, in coordination with the National Design Studio and the OMB Director, will establish and operate America.gov, integrating Login.gov as its authentication service; the OMB Director must issue an implementation memorandum to agency heads within 90 days.
The order also requires that each agency keep custody and control of its own records and systems so unifying access does not create a centralized federal system of records; existing lawful channels — in-person, telephone, mail, and agency-specific digital services — remain available, so America.gov is a better option but not the only option.
Separately, Google announced it is a technology partner for the America.gov launch, saying it will use its Gemini AI model to help more than 100 million people access public resources.
