Scene from the event
At this year's event, participants were given the chance to try out the My Number Card as a Health Insurance Certificate reader (a card reader with facial recognition), and a consultation booth was set up by digital supporters. A quiz on My Number Card was also conducted, and participants received novelty goods (mini towels, sun visors, and masks) with illustrations of Myna-chan, the PR character for My Number.
Experience My Number Card as a Health Insurance Certificate
Participants used My Number Card scanning devices (card readers with facial recognition) installed at medical institutions to experience operations related to identity verification and consent to information provision using facial recognition.

The "Things you can do in My Number Card Quiz" gave visitors a chance to learn about actual situations in which smartphones are used. 
My Number Card Consultation Corner
We set up a consultation corner on My Number Card, and explained how to use My Number Card and how safe it is. 
Comments from Event Participants
The following comments were received from people who had actually experienced it.
*Excerpts from interviews with event participants and questionnaires
- I was actually able to see the action of the My Number Card after it was held up to the reader, so it was better than just listening to the story because I could get an image.
- It is good that My Number Card can be used as a health insurance card. It seems that cooperation with a doctor can be made smoothly when you happen to get sick while traveling.
- It is convenient that we can easily receive a copy of Resident Record at a convenience store, which we used to receive at a public office.
- I didn't know that I could use it for filing a final tax return and submitting a moving out report.
