Proceedings

1. Opening (Speech by Digital Agency)

  • This year, the number of renewals of the five year expiration date for electronic certification in My Number Card and the number of renewals of the 10-year expiration date for the card itself are expected to increase. Although there were instructions from Minister Taira, it is important to respond in cooperation with ministries and agencies. Since the renewal of the card is related to the practical work of My Number Card as the Health Insurance Certificate, minor license, etc., I would like to firmly cooperate.
  • In particular, I would like to ask for your cooperation in publicizing the renewal of the card and the electronic certification.
  • While the public's recognition, understanding, and satisfaction with My Number Card are improving, there are still many misunderstandings that tax and medical information is recorded in My Number Card, and unless these are resolved, it will not lead to people carrying My Number Card.
  • The company also plans to roll out the My Number Card feature to iPhones in the near future, but we'll have to wait and see if we can get it out of the way before or after that.

2. Establishment of the Study Group

  • Explanation from Digital Agency

3. Information from Ministries and Agencies

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

4. Exchange of Views

  • We are working hard in our own way, but this review meeting is a very good opportunity, and we want to work harder than ever.
  • If you are going to make a publicity poster about the electronic certification and expiration date in Digital Agency, I would like to respond to publicity in Menkyo Center, etc.
  • This year's tax returns have generally been 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 that the renewal proceeds smoothly, and we want to work together.
  • Decisions made by the Study Group will be strongly communicated at the Inter-Ministerial Meeting. If there is anything that each ministry wants to communicate, the Study Group should be utilized.

5. Future

  • The date of the next meeting will be determined through separate discussions with the ministries and agencies of the Study Group.
