Agenda

1. Opening (Greetings from Digital Agency)

  • This year, the number of five year renewals of electronic certification cards in My Number Card and the number of 10-year card renewals are expected to increase. There were instructions from Minister Taira, but it is important to respond in cooperation with ministries and agencies. Since card renewal will be involved in the practical affairs of My Number Card as the Health Insurance Certificate, Myna driver's license, etc., we would like to cooperate firmly.
  • In particular, I would like to ask for your cooperation in publicizing the card and electronic certification renewal.
  • While the degree of public recognition, understanding, and satisfaction regarding My Number Card is improving, there continue to be many misunderstandings that taxes and medical information are recorded in My Number Card, and unless these are resolved, it will not lead to people carrying around My Number Card.
  • In addition, in the future, the incorporation of the My Number Card function to iPhones will start, but we will publicize it well before and after that, and we plan to fully respond in early autumn.

2. Establishment of the Study Group

  • Explanation from Digital Agency

3. Information provided by each ministry and agency

  • Explanation from Digital Agency, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare

4. Exchange of opinions

  • We are doing our best in our own way, but this review meeting is a very good opportunity, and we would like to work harder than ever before.
  • If you are going to make a PR poster about the electronic certification and expiration date in Digital Agency, we would like to do PR in Menkyo Center and other places.
  • This year's final tax return was largely completed smoothly. The online usage rate for income tax returns is expected to be close to 75%, and the My Number has become an important infrastructure in the field of tax administration. It is extremely important for the renewal to proceed smoothly, and we would like to work together.
  • The decisions made at this Study Group will be strongly communicated at the Inter-Ministerial General Directors' Meeting. If there is something that each ministry would like to communicate, please make use of this Study Group.

5. Future prospects

  • The date of the next meeting will be decided after separate discussion with the ministries and agencies of this study group.
