Using My Number Card Kazashi
From May 27, 2024, a regulation concerning the use of My Number Card without entering a personal identification number, so-called "holding", will come into effect. With the clarification of the regulation, we will promote the use of cards for "holding", such as use as library cards and use when entering or exiting shelter.

National certification (doctors, etc.) in the fields of tax, social security, etc. have been added to the administrative work using My Number.
From May 27, 2024, approximately 80 national certification, etc., including doctors, nursery teachers, tax accountants, barbers, hairdressers, architects, etc., will be added to the administrative work using My Number.
The system is being developed in Digital Agency, and from June onwards, procedures for qualified persons will be made available from Mynaportal, and the omission of attached documents will be realized.
Expansion of public fund receiving account Listing Methods
We will expand the method of Registration of public money receiving account. At present, it is possible to receive benefits promptly by registering an account from a Mynaportal, etc., without sending a copy of the passbook by mail, etc. In the future, in order to make it easy for those who are unfamiliar with digital technology to register, we will cooperate with the Japan pensions Organization and ask the target person whether or not to register for a pensions account.
In addition to the public fund receiving account Registration Law, the Account Management Law, which came into effect on April 1, 2024, allows those who wish to register their My Number with financial institutions on a voluntary basis, and is completely different from the public fund receiving account Registration Law. Accounts will not be registered without notification, nor will accounts be registered without a response to a notification from a financial institution, etc.
